Oh absolutely, I agree with that.

Hmm -- perhaps I am being unintentionally dense, but I am assuming
that when you say "checking in a copy" you mean anywhere other than
.git/hooks/ since that isn't tracked by git.  I have no problem with
the rationale you've just described -- but it would be handy to add
this post-merge hook script into hooks/ (exec bit removed) such that
on a clone, all one would need to do is chmod +x it.   If that's
possible, I'm clearly missing the steps to enable this.

Thanks,
