Re: [RFC PATCH v2 0/2] MVP implementation of remote-suggested hooks

Here's an updated version of the remote-suggested hooks RFC, hopefully
addressing some of the concerns people have brought up (e.g.
auto-updating without letting the user verify, or prompting about hooks
by default). It consists of two main parts:

 - Non-interactive prompts during certain Git commands about the
   existence of hooks. These prompts are turned *off* by default.

 - New "git hook" subcommands that can install these hooks (so that the
   aforementioned Git prompts or out-of-band installation instructions
   can tell users to install these hooks in a platform-independent way).
   These subcommands work whether or not prompts are enabled.

You can see how they work in patch 2's t1361.

I really wanted to try this out, but which commit was this based on?

Ah, good question. Like v1, it's based on the old es/config-based-hooks
(f2e1003b62 ("docs: link githooks and git-hook manpages", 2021-05-27)).
In v3, I'll rebase this on ab/config-based-hooks-base instead,
especially since that one has a programmatically generated list of hooks
(instead of a hardcoded one).
