Hooks

• How to do this?
• One approach is to just add steps as necessary. Example: I want sommething that’ll set the user/email correctly for each repo, so I can chose between different identies. That calls for a post-clone hook pointing at a simple shell script.
• Another is git’s own approach: a hooks dir, pre-populated with example scripts. Not so much for the “here’s how to do everything” part, but for the idea of setting up all hooks at once in the code for landle itself.
• It might also be worth limiting what landle can do. Really, after cloning how much will you want to do that can’t be handled by git hooks themselves? Maybe it’s just a matter of setting up those hooks, or the settings, which can be handled at initial creation time.
• I think I like that idea best. Set up a hook script for post-creation, and let that be it. Add better logging so that (say) new repos can be noticed, and let that be it. (Email in post-creation hook?)
