Ok, I will put it back.

I did it this way as we have such an empty post-commit hook as well, so
I added it for consistency. Though it's true that for example
post-applypatch doesn't have such an empty hook under templates either.

What is your opinion here?

Possibilities I see:

1) Just don't add such an empty template for pre-auto-gc.

2) Remove post-commit as well.

3) Add missing empty templates, like post-applypatch (maybe there are
more, I haven't did a complete research).

I've did the rest of the modifications locally as you suggested just I
don't want to spam the list with the series before the empty templates
question is not clear to me :)

Thanks
