Subject: [PATCH maint] Documentation/githooks: post-rewrite-copy-notes never existed
Message-ID: <9012ee1af6ed9872a679c6d82c6003d1be6859a6.1294663222.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>

```
The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from
its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities
were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook.  Later
versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature.

Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct.  As the
other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence
unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we
simply remove the whole paragraph.
