The update hook template intends to abort if the project description file
hasn't been adjusted or is empty.  This patch fixes the check for 'being
adjusted'.

Write this as 

	projectdesc=$(sed -e 1q "$GIT_DIR/description")

instead. It's a little shorter, a little faster and slightly more portable.

I must have missed when the default updatehook got this addendum, as it's
impossible to push to a repository that isn't named with this hook in
effect. I imagine this could lead to some fun problems when trying to
push to repositories on windows machines.

I made it $(head -n 1 ...).

I even suspect that the original 'p' is indeed a typo of 'q'.
