In fact, calling the dashed versions from the hooks is both safer and (marginally) more efficient: Many people have several versions of git lying around, and we've had more than one "bug" report where people messed up because of mixing git bits from several versions. Calling the dashed form above relies on the environment as set up by the caller, not the user (who may have several "git" in $PATH, but not "git-update-server-info"). Also, the command is called directly rather than indirectly with "git" having to look for it.
