SO my question is, is there a way to make that hook global to all
projects? If not, would it be a good idea to allow this?

Probably a post- git-init hook that lets you do anything to your newly
created repository would be the only thing that you need.  Then you can
copy, untar or even use symlink to muck with .git/hooks/ in whatever way
you please.

There needs a mechanism for you to specify what that hook is, and it
cannot be in individual repositories, so it has to live in ~/.gitconfig
somewhere.

Or you could add the hook (either the post-init hook, or for that matter
the hook you want to make global) to the Git template directory on your
system (/usr/share/git-core/templates by default). If you don't want to
make it system-global (only user-global), I guess you could make your
own Git template directory somewhere (copy the system's template dir,
and add/enable whatever hooks you like), and set up an alias to
"git init --template=<your_template_dir>". Then use this alias instead
of "git init".
