This is a very valid concern. Making sure that 'revert' pays attention to the --verify option when given from the command line, without changing the default or anything else, would satisfy everybody's wish, I would think. It won't bother existing users, and in addition will now give an option to people to selectively run pre-whatever hook when they choose to. I am not sure if we should be running pre-commit/commit-msg for revert. The message and the effect of revert is quite distinct from the ordinary commit, and it is very likely that people would want to treat them differently. It would make more sense (if we were to add an option to run any hook we currently do not run to the command) to run pre-revert/revert-msg hooks instead, and then people who happen to want to do the same thing in these hooks what they do for ordinary commits can just call their pre-commit/commit-msg hooks from there, perhaps.
