I think "should" is a bit too strong a word. While yours is a bit more explicit on _what_ the solution is, "hook: test -a|o is not POSIX" already implies that we are fixing that non-posix-ness by rewriting, and it is obvious (cf. Documentation/CodingGuidelines) what the right rewrite should be. One thing the original does a bit better tha yours is that it tell us _where_ the problem is. So, perhaps sample hook: use "test ... &&/|| test ..." instead of "test -a/-o" But I find the original just fine.
