Ah, nice. I haven't yet documented this hook on the wiki but I think
one can do some nice things with it.

No you're not alone: I have the same boring problem.
I've read some more docs and change the rsync part of the commit (ie:
git repack + git clone /tmp-dir + git update-server-info
Before only the git update-server-info was done).
I hope this solve the problem. BTW you may have to clone a fresh copy
of clfswm (now with pack it's faster than before).
