I did consider the sudo workaround before I came up with the exec
helper proposal, and I believe the exec helper proposal is better.
It would be probably a 1 or 2 line change.

The sudo workaround prevents the user from being able to
administer his own repository, which may be worse than not
allowing hooks and would prevent the hook from modifying the
repository anyway.

Cheers.
