Have you actually tried? t/t5540-http-push.sh should fail if this really
needed a fix (libexec is in $PATH for hooks).

you are right, the call to git-update-server-info does succeed, so there
is no need to make that change.
Personally, I find it unfortunate, though, that those scripts rely on
commands that won't exist when a normal user runs them.
Just my 2 cents,
Peter

Anyone can run them, just not from the default $PATH.
In fact, calling the dashed versions from the hooks is both safer and
(marginally) more efficient: Many people have several versions of git
lying around, and we've had more than one "bug" report where people
messed up because of mixing git bits from several versions. Calling the
dashed form above relies on the environment as set up by the caller, not
the user (who may have several "git" in $PATH, but not
"git-update-server-info"). Also, the command is called directly rather
than indirectly with "git" having to look for it.

right, this is a good point. Thank you for sharing this insight.
Take care,
