I do not like it at all.  git-push is about pushing what you did to the
other end; you may or may not want to refetch what other people
immediately on top of what you did, and this includes what the hook
script did in the repository you have pushed into.  If you want an
immediate refetch, you can script it so that you call push and then
fetch; the latter needs to be a separate connection to a different
service anyway.
