I did not see anything wrong doing what you described in the
post-receive, even though having the hook in the "scratch" felt
strange, as the "copying from authoritative" would also want to be
automated and the natural triggering mechanism to do so would be a
post-receive there.  What issues were you worried about?

The part that I left out, to keep things simple, is that ...

I said "strange", not "wrong".  If it is undesirable to hook the
"authoritative" repository, it is perfectly fine to hook on the
receiving end.

So what issues were you worried about?
