I do not understand why a solution based on sudo forces root ownership.
IIRC, the problem scenario is that www-data needs to run hooks under the
UID of a human user? In that case, would it not be possible to give
www-data selective sudo access to run, say,
/repository/hooks/post-commit.body, and have
/repository/hooks/post-commit being a script which uses sudo to invoke
post-commit.body ?
Max.
