Oooh, I like that.

If the paths to the hooks are passed in on the command line of
git-upload-pack, and git-daemon takes those options and passes
them through, you're right, we probably get everything we need.

Gitosis can still use the hooks if it wants, since it controls
the call of git-upload-pack.
