OK, so find_hook() that used to return a single hook now can return a list of hook scripts. Running the single one becomes a simple special case of "run each of them in turn, and stop at the first failure".

Does ".git/post-commit" that is not an executable exist?

It was perfectly fine for find_hook() to say "there is no hook for post-commit" in the old world in such a case, because the unexecutable file it found is not going to be run anyway.

But it is not clear if has_hook(), that affects "there is no single hook file for post-commit, so let's look at post-commit.d" decision made by find_hooks(), should behave that way. It somehow feels more intuitive if a post-commit file that is not executable, by merely existing, stops post-commit.d directory from being scanned, at least to me.

These "run with command line arguments as its sole input, with the exit status as its sole output" style hooks are easily handled and the above looks like reasonable enhancement to the existing abstraction (e.g. run 'prepare-commit-msg' hook with these arguments).

I however wonder how the hooks in the other style should/can be handled, that are fed data from their standard input stream, and returns more than one bit via their standard output stream. In any case, they are not in the scope of this step.
