The sentence

This hook cannot affect the outcome of git checkout

means that exit code of the hook cannot prevent checkout being performed. The hook is ran after checkout and you can do anything in the worktree. For example:

#!/bin/sh
# post-checkout hook:
# chmod directories and executable files 0777,
# chmod other files 0666. Exclude .git.
find . \( -name .git -type d -prune \) -o -exec chmod a+rwX '{}' \+
