I tried cg-commit with a commit hook, but the hook never ran.
The problem was a typo:

Fix a typo that would inhibit running the post-commit script:
s/commit-post/post-commit/.

If I remember correctly, historically, the commit-post existed before
the post-commit appeared. You can see that it is documented in the man
page so it is not a typo.

However, this should certainly be updated, but I think a better fix
would be to transitionally warn the user about the existence of the
commit-post hook before using it in favour of post-commit.

How about this?
Check for both and if there's exactly one, use that.
If it's the old one, give a diagnostic suggesting to rename it.
If both exist, execute neither, give a diagnostic and fail.

If you like this, I'll prepare a patch.

The patch looks more like a refactoring of a previous commit that did
the commit-post -> post-commit replacement.

Exactly :)

Dear diary, on Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 05:10:36PM CEST, I got a letter

That would be awesome. :-)
