Answer 1

In order to execute the local hook from within the global one the following script snipped can be used:

if [ -e ./.git/hooks/commit-msg ]; then
    ./.git/hooks/commit-msg "$@"
fi

The global hook runs within the repo directory where the commit is made and can therefore check if a local hook exists in it's .git directory.

Note that you have to adopt the hook name if you are using something different than a commit message hook.

Answer 2

I think the only way is for your global hooks to check if a corresponding local hook exists and run it.

This is not a complete solution because some hooks (pre-push, for example) accepts standard input in addition to command line parameters. If one of the hooks consumes the standard input the other doesn't have a chance.
