Re: [PATCH 2/8] git_remote_helpers: fix input when running under Python 3

Although 2to3 will fix most issues in Python 2 code to make it run under
Python 3, it does not handle the new strict separation between byte
strings and unicode strings.  There is one instance in
git_remote_helpers where we are caught by this.

Fix it by explicitly decoding the incoming byte string into a unicode
string.  In this instance, use the locale under which the application is
running.
