pre-commit is not good either, as it runs *before* the editor pops up. So it can not access the commit message. You ask for a "pre-commit-post-edit" hook, which AFAIK currently is not available in git.

Can't you create the Changelog directly before preparing such an tarball?

Usually when making a release/snapshot for a typical project, you can not directly take the newest tree from the SCM, but need to generate some files (like configure with automake/autoconf).
