Please look at your Subject: line above and ponder how it would
look in the next issue of "What's cooking in git.git".  Do I
have to spend extra brain cycles to go back to "git log --stat"
and realize that this one only updates a sample hook script?

Also, please don't do "--- >8 ---".  If you want to, please use
two dashes; this is purely for technical reasons.

I'll massage the log message and move "^$base --not" around as
Linus suggested, but next time please be a bit more careful.
