I was surprised to see this output from `make'.  What does this do?
It seems fundamentally unmodular for building Emacs from sources
to concern itself in any way with how you got those sources.

Configuring local git repository...
‘.git/config’ -> ‘.git/config.~1~’
git config transfer.fsckObjects 'true'
git config diff.elisp.xfuncname 
'^\(def[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]+([^()[:space:]]+)'
git config diff.m4.xfuncname '^((m4_)?define|A._DEFUN(_ONCE)?)\([^),]*'
git config diff.make.xfuncname 
'^([$.[:alnum:]_].*:|[[:alnum:]_]+[[:space:]]*([*:+]?[:?]?|!?)=|define .*)'
git config diff.shell.xfuncname 
'^([[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]_][[:alnum:]_]*[[:space:]]*\(\)|[[:alpha:]_][[:alnum:]_]*=)'
git config diff.texinfo.xfuncname 'address@hidden:space:]]+([^,[:space:]][^,]+)'
Installing git hooks...
‘build-aux/git-hooks/commit-msg’ -> ‘.git/hooks/commit-msg’
‘build-aux/git-hooks/pre-commit’ -> ‘.git/hooks/pre-commit’
‘.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample’ -> ‘.git/hooks/applypatch-msg’
‘.git/hooks/pre-applypatch.sample’ -> ‘.git/hooks/pre-applypatch’

This stuff is run just once, the first time you build.  In some sense
you are doing more than just building Emacs from its sources: your
are cloning the Emacs repository; some configuration of this repository
might be expected.

Those hooks ensure that some minimum guidelines are fulfilled: for instance, things like limit the number of characters for a line
within a commit message.
