I recommend allowing users to specify an alternative location for what is currently `~/.git_hooks`.

*Minimum Recommendation:*
Use the [Base Directory Specification](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)’s example, and check for the environment variable `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.

*Bonus points:*
Allow the user to set the location wherever they wish. I would personally use a `git` subdirectory under `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. ☺
