Hi Philipp,

I just saw this. I made sure that the thread to which I just replied did
not have any news from you, but you simply started a new thread ;-)

This commit message needs a little bit of love. Something along the lines:

	Since v2.9.0, Git knows about the config variable core.hookspath
	that allows overriding the path to the directory containing the
	Git hooks.

	Since v2.10.0, the `--git-path` option respects that config
	variable, too, so we may just as well use that command.

	For Git versions older than v2.5.0 (which was the first version to
	support the `--git-path` option for the `rev-parse` command), we
	simply fall back to the previous code.

(This assumes that you'll go with the approach I outlined in the other
thread, comparing the Git version to 2.5.0 and going with --git-path if
available.)

That would also have been a decent commit message, if a bit short. But you
need to put this text before the `---` line, even before the
`Signed-off-by:` footer.

Did you not mean [get_config core.hookspath] here, i.e. get_config and the
key all lower-case?

The problem I see with that is, as I mentioned in the other thread, that
it duplicates the logic in config.c that may change at any stage.

Even worse: it is inconsistent with the way Git handles core.hooksPath, if
the installed `git` executable predates v2.9.0. Git GUI explicitly allows
for being used with a large range of Git versions.

In short: I think it would be better to go with the approach I outlined in
the other thread. I'll reproduce the patch (completely untested) here:
