Hi.

After creating a couple of repositories and pushing and cloning them, I get the following:

$ git push --all origin ... hooks/update: line 88: mail: command not found

This is in cygwin. I'm rather glad I don't have the mail command installed, as I don't want mails going anywhere.

The update hook contains the following comment:

# To enable this hook: # (1) change the recipient e-mail address # (2) make this file executable by "chmod +x update".

But my impression after a cursory look at it is that it would always call "mail" whenever it is run, and since all files are executable in Windows (AFAIK), it would always be run.
