+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. If the server has
+set the multi-valued config variable `receive.procReceiveRefs`, and the
+commands sent to 'receive-pack' have matching reference names, these
+commands will be executed by this hook, instead of by the internal
+`execute_commands()` function. This hook is responsible for updating
+the relevant references and reporting the results back to 'receive-pack'.
+
+This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no
+arguments, but uses a pkt-line format protocol to communicate with
+'receive-pack' to read commands, push-options and send results. In the
+following example for the protocol, the letter 'S' stands for
+'receive-pack' and the letter 'H' stands for this hook.

+and always has a zero-old as its old-oid, while the 'proc-receive' hook

+reference-transaction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by any Git command that performs reference
+updates. It executes whenever a reference transaction is prepared,
+committed or aborted and may thus get called multiple times. The hook
+does not cover symbolic references (but that may change in the future).
+
+The hook takes exactly one argument, which is the current state the
+given reference transaction is in:
+
+ - "prepared": All reference updates have been queued to the
+ transaction and references were locked on disk.
+
+ - "committed": The reference transaction was committed and all
+ references now have their respective new value.
+
+ - "aborted": The reference transaction was aborted, no changes
+ were performed and the locks have been released.
+
+For each reference update that was added to the transaction, the hook
+receives on standard input a line of the format:
+
+ <old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF
+
+where `<old-value>` is the old object name passed into the reference
+transaction, `<new-value>` is the new object name to be stored in the
+ref and `<ref-name>` is the full name of the ref. When force updating
+the reference regardless of its current value or when the reference is
+to be created anew, `<old-value>` is the all-zeroes object name. To
+distinguish these cases, you can inspect the current value of
+`<ref-name>` via `git rev-parse`.
+
+The exit status of the hook is ignored for any state except for the
+"prepared" state. In the "prepared" state, a non-zero exit status will
+cause the transaction to be aborted. The hook will not be called with
+"aborted" state in that case.
