The docs in contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery suggest:
For example, if the hook is stored in
/usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery:
chmod a+x pre-auto-gc-battery
cd /path/to/your/repository.git
ln -sf /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery \
hooks/pre-auto-gc
Unfortunately on multi-user systems most users do not have write
access to /usr. Better to mark the sample hooks executable in
the first place so users do not have to tweak their permissions to
use them by symlinking into .git/hooks/.

Usage info is emebed in the script, but the gist of it is to run the script
from a pre-commit hook to save permissions/ownership data to a file and check
that file into the repository. Then, a post_merge hook reads the file and
updates working tree permissions/ownership. All updates are transparent to
the user (although there is a --verbose option). Merge conflicts are handled
in the "read" phase (in pre-commit), and the script aborts the commit and
tells you how to fix things in the case of a merge conflict in the metadata
file. This same idea could be extended to handle file ACLs or other file
metadata if desired.
