git - copy commit-msg hook when clone repository

Question

I created a commit-msg hook in my remote repositories, but i have to manually copy it to local .git/hooks/ directory after clone the projects.

Is there any way to copy this hook to local repo at the moment of cloning? Or any way to automate this task?

I want the hook to be copied without any intervention from the programmer, only with:

$ git clone server:/path

Thank you.

jubobs, i want the commit-msg hook to be copied in a transparent manner, without additional parameters to 'git clone'. — Erick Andrade

Then, the answer is that it's not possible; no with Git alone. — jub0bs

The specific question isn't identical, but the underlying question is: is there a way to inject code into other people's repos? — jthill

So.. I will try an alternative solution! Thank you Jubobs and jthill! — Erick Andrade
