why lines of hooks?

Euh... I don't understand why the repos/conf/*.txt files are *text* files
containing lists of programs to invoke for the hooks. Why aren't they simply
shell scripts? IOW, why the indirection?

If the repos/conf/ files are simple shell scripts, with $1 and $2 and
whatnot as the arguments, then they can invoke any number of further
programs or scripts.

That would simplify a bunch of code, reduce the "semantic overhead" of the
hooks, etc.

Is there a specific reason for the current setup? Or just following the
legacy of CVS? :-)

Cheers,
