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).
