+--access-hook=<path>::
+ Every time a client connects, first run an external command
+ specified by the <path> with service name (e.g. "upload-pack"),
+ path to the repository, hostname (%H), canonical hostname
+ (%CH), ip address (%IP), and tcp port (%P) as its command line
+ arguments. The external command can decide to decline the
+ service by exiting with a non-zero status (or to allow it by
+ exiting with a zero status). It can also look at the $REMOTE_ADDR
+ and $REMOTE_PORT environment variables to learn about the
+ requestor when making this decision.
++
+The external command can optionally write a single line to its
+standard output to be sent to the requestor as an error message when
+it declines the service.
