no that's just a sample. An update hook can do pretty much
anything, and if it exits with 0 status code, the actual update
succeeds. If it exists with any non-zero exit code, the update
will fail.
This is (usually) the basis for a lot of checks that people may
want, from commit message format to access control at the ref
(branch/tag) level for write operations.
