I updated the approach so that the instructions only get printed
when a developer first tries to commit:

    Delay Git hooks setup until first commit

    Install a small .git/hooks/pre-commit script in the source tree at CMake
    configuration time instead of telling the user to do it.  When the user
    first attempts to commit this bootstrapping hook will trigger and print
    instructions to install the real hooks.  This approach allows us to
    require local hooks for commit but not for those who just want to build.
