this is probably fast enough that we could just unconditionally call `git
config` on every runhooks, then we don't need this versioning stuff.

Is it possible to write an absolute path for the driver path? Then the driver
could be in src/ too and we could write an absolute path to it. (And if we
config'd every runhooks, we'd even survive local repo moves as long as they're
followed by another runhook)

Oops, I meant to remove this print anyway.

+        return
+    except ValueError:
+      # Not parseable for whatever reason: reinstall the config.
+      pass
+  except subprocess.CalledProcessError:
+    # git returned a non-zero return code, the config probably doesn't exist.
+    pass
+
+  print 'Installing clang-format merge driver into .git/config...'
+
+  subprocess.check_call(
+      ['git', 'config', 'merge.clang-format.name', 'clang-format merge driver'])

Is the cwd for running hooks guaranteed? Does this do the right thing if you're
not in src/ when running runhooks?

That's why there's an os.chdir on line 16 =)
