+post-upload-pack
+----------------
+
+After upload-pack successfully finishes its operation, this hook is called
+for logging purposes.
+
+The hook is passed various pieces of information, one per line, from its
+standard input.  Currently the following items can be fed to the hook, but
+more types of information may be added in the future:
+
+want SHA-1::
+    40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the
+    resulting pack.  Can occur one or more times in the input.
+
+have SHA-1::
+    40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from
+    the resulting pack, claiming to have them already.  Can occur zero
+    or more times in the input.
+
+time float::
+    Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile.
+
+size decimal::
+    Size of the resulting packfile in bytes.
+
+kind string:
+    Either "clone" (when the client did not give us any "have", and asked
+    for all our refs with "want"), or "fetch" (otherwise).
