If someone wishes to update them I'd encourage doing so (this particular 
error might be https://github.com/AdaCore/git-hooks/issues/19).  The 
update would need testing first (using the gcc-reposurgeon-8 repository 
which we've used for such test purposes) and there would need to be a 
check for any changes to configuration semantics or defaults since the 
version we're using that indicate a need to update 
refs/meta/config:project.config.
