The only thing we care about is was there args or not to the hook.
I probably could do that test differently, like say:

	echo $# >$GIT_DIR/pre-receive.args

and then test that the file contains "0" instead of looking for it to
be empty.  Not sure why I didn't write it that way in the beginning.

Eh.  Since all we care is that the argument count is 0 we probably
should be looking at $# and calling it a day.
