I do not offhand know if there are such hooks, but I would imagine
that I'd be mightily annoyed if I were forced to interact with such
a server.  I may not have a need to pull anything for a few days,
working on my changes, and then I'd find out when the service is
already down.  I may pull many times a day, and for a few days of
pre-announcement period, I'd be forced to see the same message over
and over.  I may have a cron job to fetch down the changes made by
coworkers in other timezones while I am sleeping so that I can start
my day from an up-to-date state, but it is very likely I would say
"fetch --quiet" in the cron job because I want it to be quiet unless
there is an error.

I'd appreciate if the Gitmasters at the company sent an e-mail
addressed to git-us...@mycompany.xz instead.
