post-receive hook updateInstead emulation cleanup
The code is only needed because for a long time, git-annex didn't
install hooks in repos on crippled filesystems. Now it does, and they
work at least on FAT (where all files are executable) and Windows.

It would be possible to remove this code in v8 simply by re-installing
the hooks.

# NAME
git-annex post-receive - run by git post-receive hook
# SYNOPSIS
git annex post-receive
# DESCRIPTION
This is meant to be called from git's post-receive hook. `git annex init`
automatically creates a post-receive hook using this.
When a repository is configured with receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead,
pushes to the repository update its work tree. However, that does not work
for repositories that have an adjusted branch checked
out. The hook updates the work tree when run in such a repository,
the same as running `git-annex merge` would.
