No, that would make hooks/pre-commit available as .git/hooks/hooks/pre-commit .
                                          two "hooks": ^^^^^ ^^^^^

And this:

  ln --symbolic $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/hooks $(git rev-parse 
--show-toplevel)/.git

fails because .git/hooks already exists by default, so we want:

  mv .git/hooks .git/hooks-orig
  ln --symbolic $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/hooks $(git rev-parse 
--show-toplevel)/.git
