The default for git is .git/hooks. However, we recommend in the
instructions for the ports
tree to set it with `git config --add core.hooksPath .hooks` and have the
ports hooks there.
We don't do that for the src tree. In the src tree we have a lot of files
in .git/hooks that are
samples. Also, that command is just for the current tree, so it needs to be
repeated for
new trees you checkout.
