All other hunks are as described but this one is slightly different,
which may want a mention in the proposed log message.  We used to
only care about the fact that post-checkout hook was executed, but
now we check that we invoke the hook with expected parameters.

Other than that, this looks good; so does the next step.

Thanks.
