There's two syntax errors and one good-netizen error in the hooks/update file created when cloning Linus' linux-2.6.git repo. I don't know if that file is created fresh or if it gets pulled from Linus' tree. Here's a patch to fix it

Good thing I read new list entries before I send things. I did this exact same patch too. :)
