I don't run a hook, but I have a separate script which does checks like
that. I've pulled out the Signed-off-by check into a script below, which
might work for you, or at least give you something to start from.

cheers


#!/bin/bash

function check_sob_by_committer
{
	local commit=$1

	git rev-parse --verify ${commit}^2 > /dev/null 2>&1
	if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
		# It has at least 2 parents, ie. it's a merge
		# We don't sign off merges, so we're done
		return
	fi

	committer=$(git log -1 --format='%cn <%ce>' $commit)

	git log -1 --format=%b $commit | grep "Signed-off-by: $committer" > /dev/null
	if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
		echo "  Not SOB committer '$committer'"
		return 1
	fi

	return 0
}

check_sob_by_committer $1
exit $?
