...however this is not a problem for the post-commit hook, since you
can't send any feedback from that hook anyway.

Note that if you want to spawn another process with the intention of
completing the post-commit quicker, you may also need to direct the
spawned process's stdout and stderr to /dev/null, else the post-
commit hook may still wait for the spawned process to complete.
