Re: [PATCH/RFC 0/2] Teach receive-pack not to run update hook for corrupt/non existent ref

In that case (if "non-existent-ref" was indeed non-existent, and not just
pointing at a dangling commit), I would say the post anything hook should
not be called for that ref. These hooks of course need to run if there
are _other_ refs that were updated, though, to handle these _other_ refs,
but I do not think they should be told about the no-op.

Question is what happens if none of them existed.  It's a difference
between not calling the hook at all, versus calling it with no
arguments/empty stdin (as the case may be) -- which would you do?

In case it was unclear, I was trying to say the hooks should not run with
empty input.
