How-to checkin git hook

I have not been able to find out how to commit and push a hook to my git 
server archive for everyone's benefit. The githooks man page does not 
describe this and I have not turned up any fruitful google searches on 
the topic.

I am trying to add a post-checkout hook. I also noticed that the 
post-checkout sample does not exist when I init a new archive. Is this a 
bug?  I am running git version 1.6.0.2.

Joe
