I have this feeling I don't really understand the question.  Yes, in
principle, whatever I am doing in a pre-commit hook could be done by
hand first.  I guess it is primarily a user interface issue.  The goal
is modify the behaviour of git-commit in a particular repository;
isn't this the purpose of pre-commit hooks?  

All the best,
