I don't know if they suit all of your needs but there are a few default
hooks that ship with git. Have a look at .git/hooks/*.sample in any
init-ed git repository. You can also find them here
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/templates

There are also some in http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/contrib/hooks

There are plenty of others but that's the extent of the googling I'm
going to do for you.

Pre-empting your next question. One point to note is that for security
reasons the hooks don't get included when you clone a repository. This
is OK for most people as you generally want these things on the server
containing the canonical repository anyway, what other people do with
their clones is up to them.

At $dayjob we have a few hooks enforcing coding/commit policy so we
wrote a simple script that can either wrap git clone or be run after git
clone to install the hooks for individual developers.
