How about "must do chmod before pushing anything to this repository"? I
think I tried chmod at some point but always did it too late (i.e. after
the initial push).

I think "at this point" in the flow of tutorial text would be
explicit enough, but I am not very good at writing
documentation, so rewording/clarifying patches are always
welcome.

You could always run git-update-server-info manually after
pushing if you forgot to enable the hook.  If you are paranoid
you could run it with '-f' flag to rebuild the info from
scratch.

Oh, I just didn't realize that was an error message. Perhaps it could
have an "Error" prefix and an explanation that the repository was not
cloned properly.

Anyway, thanks for the help!
