Since that chunk is only in a comment explaining what to add to the hook the user wants to run this script from, it seems like that really is unnecessary. I was in fact running .git/hooks/setgitperms.perl directly (to create an initial .gitmeta file) which is why I noticed it used git-* commands and was failing. Using "git " makes that work for me. > The change to the perl script should not be strictly necessary > (because this is expected to be run from a hook), but to set a > better example, I think it is a good idea to do these s/git-/git / > substitutions. Sounds good.
