[sr #110594] git push returns "hints" about ignored hooks

Follow-up Comment #3, sr #110594 (project administration):

updated.

They never get updated.  Until now git has always been backward
compatible.  This is notable in that it breaks backward compatibility.

However I think git upstream would say, it's only a "hint:" and
nothing is broken.  That's true.  But it's definitely a nag-message
that is there with the specific intention of making people change
something manually.  It's created quite the uproar among Savannah
users for example.  It's definitely not not-broken by this change.
Therefore even if it is just a spurious message it still breaks
backward compatibility IMNHO.

I have finished a first pass scrape across the entire collection of
repositories.  As one might imagine that over the years of spread
between the creation of them, and over the years of different
sysadmins making changes, there are variations.  All of the ones that
are the majority cases have been fixed to comply with the needs of the
current git version and do not have disabled hook scripts in place.
They were all moved to name.sample or name.datestamp type names to
avoid the spurious hint message.

That leaves a reduced list number of 139 that I need to review and
deal with next.
