When adding a new repository, having %s in the base URL of a non-custom bug tracker breaks things. That's because we don't have an error checking for that, and once the complete URL gets generated out of it, the problem is detected, but that leaves the form in a broken state, where you cannot save the form anymore.
We decided to address this by letting the user know of the error and tell him/her that % character can be escaped if there is a need. The appropriate error message is presented if this error happens.
