The file is a small script intended to be used as a hook in a Git
repository; its purpose is to automatically update the working copy of a
non-bare Git repository when something gets pushed into the currently
checked out branch.

It's unlikely to be changes in the future, and anyway it's not strictly
tied with a specific version of filestore.
