AFAICT the core of git respects GIT_DIR very much. Reading your oneline, indeed, the whole commit message, scared me a bit, because I thought that there was a bug in core git.

Your commit message completely misses out on the fact that it fixes a bug in a _hook_, and a _contributed_ at that.

So I would have known _exactly_ what you did if your oneline had read
	contrib/hooks/setgitperms: respect GIT_DIR
Don't you agree?

Ciao, Dscho
