You mean the problem inside git hooks, if such solution is applied?

Weird how I never seen it mentioned before.

Anyway, at this point I'd rather hear more opinion.

Eli, what do you think is better, applying a more verbose fix (which 
prepends stuff to every file name) and spending some of our complexity 
budged on that.

Or using the simple fix and documenting the git hooks erratum in the 
manual (or somewhere else).

I'm inclining toward the latter, esp. considering that the problem 
should be familiar to Magit users already, and thus the fix is 
prominently documented on the Internet.
