... in your $HOME/.gitconfig, naturally ;-)
I like the general idea, but with a few nits.
The hook might want to differentiate its behaviour based on how git-init
was invoked, don't you think? E.g. was it because the end user wanted to
create a new repo? Re-init? Clone, cvsimport or some other higher level
commands invoked git-init on the user's behalf?). The higher level ones
could communicate it via environment so we do not have to worry about them
too much (except perhaps in the documentation part to help hook writers),
but at least re-init is something init-db alone would be able to tell the
hook, so either a parameter to the hook or an environment exported to it
would be needed. The hook can figure out 'shared' and 'bare' by reading
from $GIT_DIR/config itself, but are there other things we may want to
tell the hook?

The current way to spell this is with git_config_string() to protect
yourself from segfaulting on:
[core]
inithook

Hmm. Exit without a message even under !quiet?
