Howto checkin git hook

I have not been able to find out how to commit and push a hook to my git server archive for everyone's benefit. The githooks man page does not descrive this and I have not turned up any fruitful google searches on the topic.

I am trying to add a post-checkout hook. I also noticed that the post-checkout sample does not exist when I init a new archive. I am running git version 1.6.0.2.

Regards,
Joe

You can't push hooks, just as with everyting else under .git/: it would be
dangerous, if you think about it, because hooks are executable code!

You have to use some other mechanism (ssh, whatever) to install it at the
server end.
