PATCH v2 1/1 githooks documentation: post-checkout hook is also called after clone

The documentation of the post-checkout hook just talks about git-checkout. But recently git-clone was changed to call it too, unless the -no-checkout (-n) option is used.

---

Thanks to Pat Notz for noticing that the hook is not called on clone when the --no-checkout (-n) option is used.
