[PATCH 1/2] contrib/hooks: adapt comment about Debian install location for contrib hooks

Message-ID
<20110926125835.26573.qmail@06368f96dac286.315fe32.mid.smarden.org>

Placing the contrib hooks into /usr/share/doc/ wasn't a good idea in the first place. According to the Debian policy they should be located in /usr/share/git-core/, so let's put them there.

Thanks to Bill Allombert for reporting this through

Ok, thanks.  I stripped this patch to just touch this file.
