Documentation/howto/rebuild-from-update-hook.txt may help.

I push into the master repository, and its post-update hook
checks out the updated "master" head to rebuild the HTML
documentation that is shown at

	http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/

The checkout happens not in the master repository but in a
separate repository by pulling into the latter, since the master
is a naked repository without a working tree associated with it.
