On the other hand, if you want to always cause an action before
running a git opeation locally, you do not have to have a hook. You
can just prepare such a message based on GNU ChangeLog and then run
git-commit with -F, both inside your wrapper.

I see two other possibilities:

1) [..]

2) [..]

3) [..]

Of course, there is a fourth of "two other" possibilities:

Make a script calling git-commit with "-F - -e" and pipe your  
generated
template into it.

Use this script whenever you want to create a new commit.

That's what I've done for over a year (http://repo.or.cz/w/svn- 
wrapper.git -- it started out as a wrapper around SVN but also works  
fine with Git) and many people also made their own script to achieve  
something similar (e.g, vc-dwim http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- 
gnulib/2007-10/msg00135.html).

Having such a wrapper in Git would just make our life easier.
