So, I just realized that, at least when mail is delivered via 
public-inbox-mda, none of the hooks are ever triggered. I've tried with 
post-update, post-receive, post-commit, pre-commit, etc. Am I doing 
something wrong, or is this because the operation is being done on a low 
enough level that the hooks aren't triggered as they would with a 
regular git operation?
