I don't know the real internals, but I will try to explain it. Let's say it is
something like a repository access layer that calls the hook scripts. This is
the part that works directly on the files. Therefore it has no idea whether it
works in a server or a client and is not interested to know that. It just
executes the hook scripts if it finds some. The server and the client
implementation share this piece of code.
