Comment (by teor):

 Here are some things we should be aware of:
 * it should be a script, which can optionally be called by a Makefile
 target
   * some people have (upstream merging) git directories with hooks, but no
 builds
 * We need a manual step: it's not safe to have executable scripts update
 themselves
 * The manual step should take its paths from:
   * environmental variables, to allow users to update all their git
 repositories at the same time
   * the current git working directory, according to the git command
     * if the user is in a worktree, the scripts should be copied into the
 working directory, not the worktree
