HowTo distribute a hook with the reposity.

I would like a hook in .got/hooks to be made available to all who clone 
or pull a particular project.  I'd also like the hook to be under git 
control (changes committed &c).  I added a hook, but git status does not 
show it.  Presumably git excludes its files in .git/ from version 
control lest there be a chiken-and-egg situation.

Is there a way to achieve this?  Or a better way to do it?

Thanks,  j.
