I think the quoting in the comment in post-receive-email is written as if it would be passed via the command line to "git config"; i.e., git config hooks.showrev "t=%s; printf 'http://.../?id=%%s' \$t; echo;echo; git show -C \$t; echo" Granted, the docs don't make that clear. See git-config(1) for the details of the config file syntax.
