+Private information
+'''''''''''''''''''
+
+When cloning/fetching/pulling/pushing git copies only database objects
+(commits, trees, files and tags) and symbolic references (branches and
+lightweight tags). Everything else is private to the repository and
+never cloned, updated or pushed. It's your config, your hooks, your
+private exclude file.
+
+If you want to distribute hooks, copy them to the working tree, add,
+commit, push and instruct the team to update ind install the hook
+manually.
