[PATCH 03/17] hook: add list command

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
  global: ~/baz/from/hookcmd.sh
  local: ~/bar.sh

Notes:
    Since v4, updated the sample in the commit message to reflect reality better.
    
    Since v4, more work on the documentation. Also a slight change to the
    output format (space instead of tab).

 SYNOPSIS
 --------
 [verse]
-'git hook'
+'git hook' list <hook-name>
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-A placeholder command. Later, you will be able to list, add, and modify hooks
-with this command.
+You can list configured hooks with this command. Later, you will be able to run,
+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 the order Git encounters them during
+the configuration parse (see linkgit:git-config[1]). `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"
+----
+
+With these configs, you'd then see:
+
+----
+$ git hook list "post-commit"
+global: /bin/linter --c
+global: ~/typocheck.sh
+local: python ~/run-test-suite.py
+
+$ git hook list "prepare-commit-msg"
+local: /bin/linter --c
+----
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+list `<hook-name>`::
+
+List the hooks which have been configured for `<hook-name>`. Hooks appear
+in the order they should be run, and print the config scope where the relevant
+`hook.<hook-name>.command` was specified, not the `hookcmd` (if applicable).
+This output is human-readable and the format is subject to change over time.
