Hmm, but I usually run with -a, I even have a git alias for it. I guess
what this discussion illustrates is that there are various patters for
using git, and we shouldn't assume that everyone else is using the same
patterns we are.

I'm still  mildly inclined to say this material would be better placed
in the developer wiki. After all, this isn't the only thing a postgres
developer might use a git hook for (mine has more material in it than in
what I posted).
