Ugh, that was embarrassing to miss (bad enough to miss it on my own, but worse to not notice it after Jakub questioned it).

Since that chunk is only in a comment explaining what to add to the hook the user wants to run this script from, it seems like that really is unnecessary.
I was in fact running .git/hooks/setgitperms.perl directly (to create an initial .gitmeta file) which is why I noticed it used git-* commands and was failing. Using "git " makes that work for me.
