Making the script > portable with python 2 and 3 would be awesome ;-). For my 2p worth, I don't like seeing hooks called like this. Particular those that come as part of the standard installation. I call mine by installing little scripts like this (on Debian): #!/bin/sh # stored as $GIT_WORK_DIR/.git/hooks/post-receive-email exec /bin/sh /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email This means I don't have to make the sample script executable, it gets upgraded automatically as git gets upgraded, and the interpreter is easily changed by changing a file in my work directory, rather than altering a packaged file. I'd prefer to see the /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/ using a similar technique, as to my mind, installing a full copy of the sample script in every new repository is wasteful and leaves you with potentially out-of-date scripts when you update git.
