The document root of my website has a git repository under it (in the standard .git subdirectory) and want a post update hook to checkout the contents (so the web server sees it!) 

I will be pushing to it via ssh.

Does this mean that the post-update hook with be run with a working directory of the web site's document root? or something relative (such as GIT_DIR) so that I don't have to do a specific cd to an absolute path.
