I guess the problem is that the 'hooks' branch is automatically
downloaded when one clones VTK.git (so if you clone from github, it is
not included). How would you point directly to the hooks branch in the
pull command?

Something like this:
git pull .. git://vtk.org/VTK.git/hooks

(but that doesn't work)
