When turned on, this option will allow validating Subversion's repository URLs only up to the first $ sign, that is, up to the first encountered variable.
For example, the repository URL https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/trunk/hudson/hudson/plugins/$PLUGIN, which validation raises an error since $PLUGIN can't be resolved at validation-time, would be successfully validated as https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/trunk/hudson/plugins/. Also, credential would be entered for https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/trunk/hudson/plugins/ rather than for the complete URL.
