With git version 1.7.1.rc1.248.gcefbb and this script:

#!/bin/bash rm -rf a b c git init --bare b git clone b a cat > b/hooks/post-receive <<EOF #!/bin/bash # dummy EOF chmod +x b/hooks/post-receive cd a date > foo;git add foo; git commit -m foo; git push origin master

I get this output:
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/t/b/
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/t/a/.git/
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
[master (root-commit) 020a1fb] foo
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 foo
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 241 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
To /tmp/t/b
 * [new branch]      master -> master
What are we doing differently?
