## HOOK SYSTEM
-`vcsh` provides a hook system. Hook scripts need to be executable and placed
-in <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-available>. From there, they should be
-soft-linked <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-enabled>.

+execute hooks that are in this directory.
-Hooks follow a simple format. `pre-run` will be run before anything is run.

If you want to have more than one script for a certain hook, just append
-strings to order them. A system of `pre-run`, `pre-run.10`, `pre-run.20` etc
-is suggested. The dot it optional.

-If you want to create hooks for a specific `vcsh` repository, simply prepend
-the repository's name, followed by a dot, i.e. `zsh.pre-run`. This dot is
-mandatory.

+Available hooks are <pre-enter>, <post-enter>, <pre-run>, <post-run>,
+<pre-setup>, and <post-setup>. If you need more, vcsh is trivial to patch,
+but please let upstream know so we can ship them by default.
