Teach 'git hook --list <hookname>', which checks the known configs in order to create an ordered list of hooks to run on a given hook event.

Multiple commands can be specified for a given hook by providing multiple "hook.<hookname>.command = <path-to-hook>" lines. Hooks will be run in config order. If more properties need to be set on a given hook in the future, commands can also be specified by providing "hook.<hookname>.command = <hookcmd-name>", as well as a "[hookcmd <hookcmd-name>]" subsection; at minimum, this subsection must contain a "hookcmd.<hookcmd-name>.command = <path-to-hook>" line.

For example:
  $ git config --list | grep ^hook
  hook.pre-commit.command=baz
  hook.pre-commit.command=~/bar.sh
  hookcmd.baz.command=~/baz/from/hookcmd.sh
  $ git hook --list pre-commit
  ~/baz/from/hookcmd.sh
  ~/bar.sh

 SYNOPSIS
 --------
 [verse]
-'git hook'
+'git hook' -l | --list <hook-name>
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 You can list, add, and modify hooks with this command.
 
+This command parses the default configuration files for sections "hook" and
+"hookcmd". "hook" is used to describe the commands which will be run during a
+particular hook event; commands are run in config order. "hookcmd" is used to
+describe attributes of a specific command. If additional attributes don't need
+to be specified, a command to run can be specified directly in the "hook"
+section; if a "hookcmd" by that name isn't found, Git will attempt to run the
+provided value directly. For example:
+
+Global config
+----
+  [hook "post-commit"]
+    command = "linter"
+    command = "~/typocheck.sh"
+
+  [hookcmd "linter"]
+    command = "/bin/linter --c"
+----
+
+Local config
+----
+  [hook "prepare-commit-msg"]
+    command = "linter"
+  [hook "post-commit"]
+    command = "python ~/run-test-suite.py"
+----
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-l::
+--list::
+	List the hooks which have been configured for <hook-name>. Hooks appear
+	in the order they should be run.
