find_hook: keep our own static buffer

The find_hook function returns the results of git_path,
which is a static buffer shared by other path-related calls.
Returning such a buffer is slightly dangerous, because it
can be overwritten by seemingly unrelated functions.

Let's at least keep our _own_ static buffer, so you can
only get in trouble by calling find_hook in quick
succession, which is less likely to happen and more obvious
to notice.

While we're at it, let's add some documentation of the
function's limitations.
