But I'm new to git and don't understand what it means. A `hook' is running. Hooks are (usually) little scripts to do some additional automated tasks that aren't the main business of the SCM system itself. In your case, the hook `hooks/update' was started and it aborted (returning an error condition). Just look at that script (it's on the server within the GIT repo you're pushing to) to see what it does.
