Would patches introducing new git hooks, e.g. for post-fetch, be
eligible for acceptance?
If a more detailed explanation about a specific use case is required,
I'd be happy to provide it.


Btw, the link in the README
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/ is dead.

The general guidelines for adding hooks is laid out here:

Yes, the status of gmane was up in the air for a while, but I think we
can give it up as dead now (at least for our purposes).

Subject: README: replace gmane link with public-inbox

The general status and future of gmane is unclear at this
point, but certainly it does not seem to be carrying
gmane.comp.version-control.git at all anymore. Let's point
to public-inbox.org, which seems to be the favored archive
on the list these days (and which uses message-ids in its
URLs, making the links somewhat future-proof).

One interesting follow-up, though (which seems sensible to me):

  http://public-inbox.org/git/7vr5fraxbf.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org/

s/http/nntp/ still works for gmane.

No objections, here.

There's also https://mail-archive.com/git@vger.kernel.org
Where https://mid.mail-archive.com/<Message-ID> also works

Yes, but do we want to be exhaustive here, of just cite one that is
a useful starting point?  I think it is the latter.

Mentioning nntp for those who prefer (including me) may have value,
though.
