I just took a look... and that's an odd setup.

By tradition, git repositories take one of two forms.

Normal:
project-name/
   .git/
     internal-git-files...
   checked-out-files...

Bare:
project-name.git/
   internal-git-files...


Looking at asdf, I see

public_html/
   asdf.git/
     internal-git-files...
   checked-out-files...
   non-git-files...


Thus when asdf.git/hooks/post-update runs (see below), it fails since many 
git operations cannot find the git repository.  If you edit 
asdf.git/config to say "bare = true", then this problem should be 
resolved.  You may also want to manually delete the checked out files from 
public_html.

As regarding post-update, see `man githooks` on how to enable this and 
what it does.  After enabling it, cd back to asdf.git and run it manually; 
the http update should then work properly.
