Do we need option 2, the default path?

The hooks-env path is specified in apache config file, the admin chooses
the path or no path. The path is also specified in the svnserve config
file, the admin chooses the path or no path. For ra_local there is a
hard-coded path and the admin chooses whether that file is present.
That is sufficient for the admin to control the environment.

Do we need option 1?

The svn_repos API doesn't have options to bypass hooks so why should it
provide a way to bypass the environment? If the admin has configured
hooks they always run. If the admin has configured an environment it
should always be used.
