From: Feiynag Xue <fxue@roku.com>

commit d38208a297e76bbfbfa8e485632c217aaafa9486 introduced function "decode_path()" to replace "encodeWithUTF8()". This old function "encodeWithUTF8()" no longer has reference by any code in this file.

    Remove deprecated function "encodeWithUTF8()"
    
    The function encodeWithUTF8() no longer has reference after
    d38208a297e76bbfbfa8e485632c217aaafa9486, which introduced decode_path()
    to replace encodeWithUTF8() for path encoding handling. I cannot think
    of a reason to keep encodeWithUTF8() in the codebase.

 - Please line-wrap your log message to reasonable length, like around
   70 columns.

 - We refer to an existing commit like this: d38208a2 (git-p4:
   convert path to unicode before processing them, 2019-12-13)

   You can ask "git show -s --pretty=reference d38208a2" to produce
   such a string with versions of Git that are recent enough (like
   v2.25 or newer), or --pretty='format:%h (%s, %ad)' can be used
   instead of --pretty=reference for older version of Git.

 - Please Cc: those who are likely to know the area to ask for their
   reviews.  This patch addresses a fallout from an existing commit,
   and its author would be a good candidate.

 - "deprecated" is probably not the word you wanted to use here, as
   it has a connotation that something was suboptimal with it, and
   it got replaced by something else.  Reading your description, I
   think you are removing a function that is no longer used.

   I'd suggest rewriting it to something like:

     Subject: git-p4: remove "encodeWithUTF8()" that is no longer used

     d38208a2 (git-p4: convert path to unicode before processing
     them, 2019-12-13) introduced the function "decode_path()" to
     replace the "encodeWithUTF8()" method of P4Sync class, which no
     longer is used anywhere.

     Remove it.

Thanks.
