[gitolite] symlink hooks instead of copying them

Dear Sitaram, dear Teemo, dear gitolite-fans,

Gitolite currently copies hooks to repositories. For upgrades, it must thus ensure that all hooks are also upgraded.

It occurs to me that this might be easier done using symlinks, or with a file that includes the master hook(s) in ~/.gitolite/src/hooks. Then, the hooks just have to be upgraded in one place.

Do you see a reason not to do this via symlinks?
