Thanks, nice catch. I dropped "at minimum" and s/must/should/. Since I
received feedback during the dogfood internally that there's no
documentation on "hookcmd.<thing>.skip" whatsoever, I'll try to make
a more detailed overview of hookcmd acting as an alias in the
user-facing docs in that commit.

Ok, done.

Done.

I think it's safe to do so, but I think I left it out in case duplicates
do make it into the list somehow. But if they're always being inserted
via "append_or_move_hook()" that should not be an issue, so I'll add the
break.

In fact, fixing this exposed a bug. Later, I add using 'pos' instead of
'head':
  list_add_tail(&to_add->list, pos);
When I'm guaranteed to iterate to the end of the list, that works fine,
because in this implementation the last element of the list has "->next"
set back to "head". But when 'pos' isn't sure to be at the end of the
list, it breaks the list. Whoops.. :)

Sure.

Sure, I can change it. Although, 'git grep -E "struct \w+$"' tells me
there are a few other offenders :) But the count (60ish minus
doc/relnotes references) is much lower than 'git grep -E "struct \w+
\{$"' (800+ matches) so I'm definitely doing it wrong :D

Hrmph. I think my C++ background is showing - to me, calling ".buf"
(which is cheap) a few times is a small price to pay to get length
info and so on for free. "hookname" can come from the user - "git
hook (list|run) repo-special-magic-hook" - so I worry about leaving it as a raw
char* with no size info associated. Am I being too paranoid?

OK. Thanks, done.

See above.

Nope. Dropped, thanks.

Since 'command' comes directly from user input and is executed, I'm
nervous about using a char* instead of a strbuf even more so than for
the hookname.

Thanks for the nitpicky review, it was great! :)
