This makes one wonder what happens if it returns 101, iow if there is difference between returning 99 and 101, and if so why. > +Remote Tracking Refs > +-------------------- > + > +After successfully sending a pack to the remote, 'git-send-pack' > +updates the corresponding remote tracking ref in the local repository > +to point to the same commit as was just sent to the remote side.

It is not like "if this is true, then it is ok to run the hook but otherwise do not run". In layman's terms, what does the parameter mean?
