Yeah, that could work. It would do what he wants, but he would have to
have the hook set up. Which means he either needs to remember to
configure it in each repository (at which point he could just remember
to configure his identity), or he needs to point to a special init
template directory with the hook.

I think setting init.templatedir or GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR in the environment
would accomplish the latter.
