Oh, *that's* easy. Check it by having a post-commit or pre-commit script
write a lgo somewhere, but check out what `dirname $0` yields you as far as
the "hooks" directory used fo rthe pre-commit script itslelf and use the
results to prefix the call of any other scripts in the "hooks" directory or
any configuration files in $REPODIR/conf.
