Well, I like the idea[1].  The design issues are not very complicated;
the main thing is to implement it.

 $ git grep -l -F -e 'hooks/' -- \*.c \*.sh \*.perl | egrep -v '^(contrib/(examples|hooks))|t/'
 builtin/commit.c
 builtin/init-db.c
 builtin/receive-pack.c
 git-am.sh
 git-cvsserver.perl
 git-rebase--interactive.sh
 git-rebase.sh
 run-command.c

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
