Solved...

I took your advice and changed the owner of /var/www/var/sites to "william".
It pushes and the post-update hook checks out the pushed files to adjacent work
tree. I was mistakenly under the impression that Apache could only read files
owned by "www-data".

Thank you for your help,
William
