Thanks. hooks.html is exactly where you say after installing git-doc. It does
not show up in dwww though - presumably because its not registered with doc-base.
BTW, "dpkg -S $(which git)" does not work with only the git-doc package
installed. This works though (filtering a search for "git" to show the result of
"git" and "hooks"):
$ dpkg -S git | grep hooks
git-doc: /usr/share/doc/git-doc/hooks.html
git-doc: /usr/share/doc/git-doc/hooks.txt
Cheers,
