The prepare-commit-msg hook is run whenever a "fresh" commit message
is prepared, just before it is shown in the editor (if it is).
It can modify the commit message in-place and/or abort the commit.
It takes two parameters. The first is the source of the commit
message, and can be: `message` (if a `\-m` or `\-F` option was
given); `template` (if a `\-t` option was given or the
configuration option `commit.template` is set); `merge` (if the
commit is a merge or a `.git/MERGE_MSG file exists); `squash`
(if a `.git/SQUASH_MSG file exists); or a commit id (if a
`\-c`, `\-C` or `\--amend` option was given). The second
parameter if the name of the file that the commit log message.
The hook is not suppressed by the `\--no-verify` option. However,
exiting with non-zero status only aborts the commit if said option
is not given to `git-commit`.
While the default hook just adds a Signed-Off-By line at the bottom
of the commit messsage, the hook is more intended to build a template
for the commit message following project standards, that the user
can then edit or discard altogether.

+prepare-commit-msg
+------------------
+
+This hook is invoked by `git-commit` right after preparing the
+default log message, and before the editor is started.
+
+It takes two parameters. The first is the source of the commit
+message, and can be: `message` (if a `\-m` or `\-F` option was
+given); `template` (if a `\-t` option was given or the
+configuration option `commit.template` is set); `merge` (if the

+parameter if the name of the file that the commit log message.
+
+The hook is not suppressed by the `\--no-verify` option. However,
+exiting with non-zero status only aborts the commit if said option
+is not given to `git-commit`.
+
+The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and
+can be used to augment the default commit message with some
+project standard information. It can also be used for the same
+purpose as the pre-commit message, if the verification has
+to be skipped for automatic commits (e.g. during rebasing).
+
+The default 'prepare-commit-msg' hook adds a Signed-Off-By line
+(doing it with a hook is not necessarily a good idea, but doing
+it in 'commit-msg' is worse because you are not reminded in
+the editor).
