I can happily say that I've had both hooks scream bloody murder at me,
and exactly when they should.  The local hooks told me to fix my
commit msg and to eliminate an RCS macro.  The update hook told me
that I'd set the wrong email address.

The rules look good to me.  And the more strict the local hooks are, the better.
