Yes, I agree that the REPOS-PATH argument is an exceptional case.
Unforunately, we have to decode repos_dir because it is used with the
os.path.join() function.

There is no way of knowing which character encoding is used for paths.
At least on UNIX a filename is just a string of bytes and it is independent
of the locale.

Note that hook scripts will run in an empty environment by default.
Which means this script will run in the "C" locale by default.
If another locale is desired, the administrator needs to configure the
server as documented here:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#hooks-env

My assumption is that for hook scripts like this one, the server will be
configured with SVNUseUTF8 and the hook script environment will contain
something like LANG=C.UTF-8.

If svnadmin is then also used in the UTF-8 locale to create repositories,
the hook script should work fine.

Thank you, I did not know this. The patch below undoes changes which I
made in order to encode input to SVN APIs as UTF-8.

The mailer.py test is still passing fine with this change.
