`.git-hooks/README` mentions a potential issue when using Git for 
Windows (instead of cygwin git) and suggests a potential solution.

In case that doesn't help, removing the symlinks and copying the hooks 
from `.git-hooks/` to `.git/hooks` might possibly help to work around 
the problem at least.
