+Element projecthook
+-------------------
+
+This element is used to define a per-remote hook git that is
+fetched and applied to all projects using the remote. The project-
+hook functionality allows for company/team .git/hooks to be used.
+The hooks in the supplied project and revision are supplemented to
+the current repo stock hooks for each project. Supplemented hooks
+overrule any stock hooks.
