and Arwin and Nico said similar things.

Thanks, Ryan, Arwin, and Nico.

It took a bit of futzing around, but as I type this, I'm replicating a
repository (the smallest and currently least-active one).

It took me a while to realize that the hooks with .tmpl extensions were
templates, not live hooks, and I was right on the verge of asking for
help when I looked at the instructions again, and realized that instead
of setting up the required null hook, I'd overwritten a template (DUH!)
