Commit outside the hooks if possible:

So we still commit outside the hooks, and only
update ref inside the hooks. There are only two
exceptions:

* Whenever it's adding a tag. We can't add a tag
  without committing, unfortunately. See !7700
* Whenever source project is in another repository.
  We'll need to fetch ref otherwise commits can't be made.
