+(a per-hook setting), `<event>` must be the event name, not a hook
+friendly name. The key component is stored literally and looked up by
+event name at runtime with no translation between the two namespaces.
+A key like `hook.my-hook.jobs` is stored under `"my-hook"` but the
+lookup at runtime uses the event name (e.g. `"post-receive"`), so
+`hook.my-hook.jobs` is silently ignored even when `my-hook` is
+registered for that event. Use `hook.post-receive.jobs` or any other
+valid event name when setting `hook.<event>.jobs`.

 hook.jobs::
 	Specifies how many hooks can be run simultaneously during parallelized
 	hook execution. If unspecified, defaults to 1 (serial execution).
+	Can be overridden on a per-event basis with `hook.<event>.jobs`.
 	Some hooks always run sequentially regardless of this setting because
 	git knows they cannot safely be parallelized: `applypatch-msg`,
 	`pre-commit`, `prepare-commit-msg`, `commit-msg`, `post-commit`,
