yes that almost would do the thing. But instead of hacking the hook, it would be great to have a trivial setup at the begining of the script to choose this config.

Maybe a local config in the repo through the command `git config` could do the job ?

$ git config hook.update.path "/var/www/"

And if the config is to write the message to a file, skip the email stuffs generation (header, foorter...).
