 Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails on updates to
 the local repository. This example script sends a mail with
 the commits pushed to the repository:
 
        #!/bin/sh
-       case "$#,$1" in
-       1,) # help packed repository pulled via dumb protocol.
-           git-update-server-info
-           ;;
-       *)  # mail out commit update information.
-           if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
-           then
-               echo "Created now ref."
+       # mail out commit update information.
+       if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
+       then
+               echo "Created a new ref, with the following commits:"
                git-rev-list --pretty "$2"

                git-rev-list --pretty "$3" "^$2"
-           fi |
-           mail -s "Changes to ref $1" commit-list@mydomain
-        esac

        exit 0
 
+Another hook $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update, if exists and
+executable, is called with the list of refs that have been
+updated.  This can be used to implement repository wide cleanup
+task if needed.  The exit code from this hook invocation is
+ignored; the only thing left for git-receive-pack to do at that
+point is to exit itself anyway.  This hook can be used, for
+example, to run "git-update-server-info" if the repository is
+packed and is served via a dumb transport.
+
+       #!/bin/sh
+       exec git-update-server-info
+
+There are other real-world examples of using update and
+post-update hooks found in the Documentation/howto directory.
