Which ended with the error message "Somebody should define
smarter http server protocol".  That's from git-clone-script and
the echo to generate the output is followed by "exit 1".

I think "at this point" in the flow of tutorial text would be
explicit enough, but I am not very good at writing
documentation, so rewording/clarifying patches are always
welcome.

You could always run git-update-server-info manually after
pushing if you forgot to enable the hook.  If you are paranoid
you could run it with '-f' flag to rebuild the info from
scratch.
