Hm. This starts to feel less and less like an interface that can easily be parsed by a machine, even with "-z". I guess this partly comes from our insistence to reinvent the wheel in Git instead of just using something like JSON :/

Is there any reason this is an `int` and not a `bool`?

What exactly does "build time" refer to? To me this reads like invoking make :)

You can use `xstrdup_or_null()` here.

Is the first condition required? I would expect that `disabled` would always be false for traditional hooks.

Same question here regarding the type of the struct member.
