Uhhh.  Whoops.  ;-)

git-gui doesn't implement the commit-msg hook.  Because I forgot
to implement it.  So yes, its supposed to work, but no, it doesn't,
because it was never coded.  :-)

Yes, commit-msg is the proper hook to use here.  But git-gui doesn't
honor it.  I'll try to work out a fix after dinner this evening.

Thanks for the bug report.  Definately appreciated.
