I just went though this.

in the remote repo I make .git/hooks/post-receive executable, then edited it and made the script that it optionally calls excecutable, and uncommented it.

I then added git checkout -f and ran into a problem that was answered this morning by Johan Herland so the final script is

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$GIT_DIR" = "." ]; then
         GIT_DIR=`pwd`
fi

/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email cd .. /usr/bin/git checkout -f
