If you want to generate a file, you can certainly do that in the
post-commit hook or using a Makefile target. You just can't check it
into the repo. Lots of projects do this as part of their build process.

An example of what you could do is "git log --pretty='tformat:%H%n%B' HEAD".
That will print the commit hash and commit message to standard output
for each commit. If you want just one commit, you can use "-1".
