      #         # `repo_name` is guaranteed to be UTF-8, but was ASCII-8BIT, so
      #         # tag it as such
      #         @repo_name = params[:repo_name].force_encoding 'UTF-8'

      # encoded as ASCII-8BIT. This is useful in the case where an application must
      # handle data but encoding of the data is unknown, like file system data.

      #       def show
