I had to stumble upon this feature before I realized it was here
inside the tools directory all along. This documentation should make
it easier for the next person coming along looking for a patchwork git
hook.

+7. Optional: Configure your VCS to automatically update patches
+
+ The tools directory of the patchwork distribution contains a file
+ named post-receive.hook which is an example git hook that can be
+ used to automatically update patches to the Accepted state when
+ corresponding comits are pushed via git.
+
+ To install this hook, simply copy it to the .git/hooks directoy on
+ your server, name it post-receive, and make it executable.
+
+ This sample hook has support to update patches to different states
+ depending on which branch is being pushed to. See the STATE_MAP
+ setting in that file.
+
+ If you are using a system other than git, you can likely write a
+ similar hook using pwclient to update patch state. If you do write
+ one, please contribute it.
