 2. Add some config so we can have hook search paths, and ship with a
    default search path for hooks shipped with git.

I would go for something like this instead of search paths. This
allows you to specify a path to any specific hook in hooks.* config
group. This is basically "$GIT_DIR/hooks directory in config file" but
with lower priority than those in $GIT_DIR/hooks.

Now we can do something like


    git -c hooks.post-checkout=/path/to/some/script clone ...

but of course I would need to fix the FIXME or this hook config is
only effective just this one time. (And of course you could put it in
~/.gitconfig)
