Repository.writeFile fails if no options object is passed #577
Description
In the documentation about Repository.writeFile, the options parameter is specified as optional. Despite this, the function fails if no options object is passed and throws this error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'encode' of undefined

The error seems to get thrown when options.encode is read in Repository.writeFile. It only works for me when passing an empty object. This should be better documented or a default empty object should be instantiated in the method.
