That's by design: "git init" gives you _example_ hooks, but they won't run until you activate them explicitely with the appropriate chmod.

That said, I'm not sure there's a really good reason not to run update-server-info by default on push. It doesn't cost much and saves a lot of troubles for beginners. Perhaps there are cases where the performance cost is non-negligible.
