Hi. Could you give a bit more detail about the reason for this
change, please? Do any of our existing commit hooks currently
care about the order in which they're called (ie is this fixing
a bug), or is there some use case that would care in future?

This change may well be right but it's not immediately obvious
that begin/commit are a paired set in the same way as (say)
add/del and log_start/log_stop, so more rationale would be
helpful.

thanks
