The documentation of the post-checkout hook just talks about git-checkout. But recently git-clone was changed to call it too, unless the -no-checkout (-n) option is used.

Thanks to Pat Notz for noticing that the hook is not called on clone when the --no-checkout (-n) option is used.

 This hook cannot affect the outcome of 'git-checkout'.
 
+It is also run after 'git-clone', unless the --no-checkout (-n) option is

 This hook can be used to perform repository validity checks, auto-display
 differences from the previous HEAD if different, or set working dir metadata
 properties.
