No, you're absolutely right. After sending that message I went and
looked at how nasty it would be, and it's not worth it.
If we were doing perl or shell or whatever (like the original scripts
were), it would have been trivial. But as things are now, I'll retract
that idea as being overly complicated.
It would solve my "rewrite repo name" thing, but I've solved that with
a hook, and it's a bit hacky, but it's not horrendous or wrong. As you
say, hooks are for special cases, and that hostname rewriting I do is
very much a special case.
