Adding custom hooks to a bare repository.

Hello all,

I'm trying to add in "post-merge" as a valid hook file to an already created --bare repository. In adding it to the correct place and setting the correct permissions on it (the repository is a shared one), it doesn't seem to be pulled down with the other hook files already present when doing a "git clone".

Any ideas why?

Indeed, I also, as a test, added this post-merge hook to a repository and created a --bare repository from that - thinking that perhaps the hook file had to present at the time of creating a new repository, but even then it wasn't copied over to the bare repository.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
