We should also caution that the command is expected to handle not
just the arguments but its standard input. Not reading any and
exiting may be a no-no for some hooks.
And unlike command line arguments, there is no handy way to say "I
do not care what the input is" (other than putting "cat >/dev/null;"
in front of what you really want to do, that is).
