I guess it hasn't been explicitly stated so far.  fyi. git hooks not copied
by git-clone.  This is considered a security feature.  eg. so you can clone
and manipulate some random repository without having to worry about running
scripts/code contained within it.  (of course once you 'make' all bets are off)

eg. the sample .git/hooks/ created by git-init and git-clone come from the
local '/usr/share/git-core/templates/' by default.
