mercurial: how do I get the project's root folder name in changegroup hook?

I'm aware of this answer and maybe there is no solution to my problem in the end anyway. However, what I want to achieve is this:

Whenever a changeset for a repo on my server is incoming, I want to perform some custom tasks. I added a hooks section to hgweb.config:

[hooks]
changegroup = printenv > /tmp/test/env.txt

From the info that printenv gives me I see that I'm able to extract my unique identifier for the repo, but not the name of project! I do need the name of the repo's root folder for an API call. Is there any way I can get this information?

hg root gives you the directory the repository resides in.

However there is no "unique name" or anything like that - it's simply the name of the directory and it can be changed by a simple rename command on file system level.
