Hooks are not cloned with the repo. The hook in question was in /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/, so it would get setup on clone. That works fine. If I immediately switch branches, the hook gets called. It's just the `post-clone' (when I assume something like `checkout' is done), the hook doesn't get called. >> The general wisdom on the list is that it's a bad idea to run remote >> code arbitrarily for security reasons... I agree, but not in this specific situation. All the users of the code are trusted, as is the author of the hooks.
