I think that depends how your hooks depend on it:

- if they recreate it as needed, /var/tmp sound good. Maybe /tmp is
better because it's in ramfs

- if they can't recreate it, maybe we need to place it somewhere that
is backed-up (/var/lib/git/sthing),

- or maybe we need to recreate/repopulate the directories at boot time
(like the cvs locks dirs)
