+  Optional command to install the commit-msg hook. Typically of the form:
+  `fetch-cmd some://url/to/commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg ; chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg`
+  By default unset; falls back to using scp from the canonical SSH host,

+  Optional command to complete the commit-msg hook. For example:
+  `git submodule update --init --recursive && git review -s`
