We could satisfy a whole class of wishes by supporting
user-wide/system-wide git hooks like
~/.githooks/{pre,post}-clone /etc/githooks/{pre,post}-clone
~/.githooks/{pre,post}-init /etc/githooks/{pre,post}-init
I suppose similar functionality could be implemented via git aliases,
but hook scripts are easier to install and share.
