Thanks.  I found out the root of my problem was actually something else. 
  I had incorrectly done a chmod a+x on the pre-commit hook when all my 
previous commits had not been using it, so I think the pre-commit was 
actually catching not my new fix but what was already in the repository.
git-commit -a had no effect due to that.

But it's good to know about the --no-verify option, thou.
