Re: Bug: git-hooks documentation should note that if you are using git-daemon you will *not* see stdout and stderr output from hooks.

For stderr, git-daemon used to not propigate it, but 
that was fixed (in 5d87dd4fcac808fc0f0b993b470644ba7d2d62a2 / 1.6.4),
at least for git-daemon started with --detach or --inetd.

IIRC, all it took to get it fixed was me complaining on this list and
the wonderful git developers seeing it. :)

For example:
