It has nothing to do with Linux development practices. There are fundamental reasons why we don't fetch hooks: - they are _not_ part of the repository; just look at the .gitattributes-in-the-index-but-not-worktree issue to find out why, - it is _private_ data, just like the config. The client has _no business_ to read them, let alone fetch them, - if you have the hooks on different machines, chances are that you need a mechanism to update the hooks... This naturally suggests putting the hooks into their own branch. Probably there are way more reasons not to allow such a thing as fetching hooks.
