Dear Maintainer,

thanks for the new 'postclone' hook.

however, i wonder why it is impossible to configure the hook via the
*repository's* debian/gbp.conf

I wanted to submit a fix for this:

but reading the surrounding comments ("but don't overwrite hooks"), it seems
that this is intentional.
most likely this is due to security implications (cloning a repository shouldn't
be allowed to run any unknown script).

however, this is NOT documented.
so please add a note to 'man 1 gbp-clone' (and the like) that any 'postclone'
configuration in the repository itself will be ignored.

while changing the documentation, you might also consider to change the
option-name (in the documentation) from the invalid "--git-postclone" to
"--postclone" (and similar for "--git-hooks" )

thanks for your kind consideration.
