Thoughts on adding another hook to git

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'd like to be able to modify the commit message before it ends up in the $EDITOR. This is a fairly trivial thing to implement: Call ${GIT_DIR}/hooks/pre-editor on COMMIT_MESSAGE before opening it in $EDITOR.

My question to you all is should I set it up so that the hook only opens when the $EDITOR is actually being called? (really easy) Or, do I set it up so that the hook always happens. In which case it's similar to the commit-msg hook already, just happens before the message instead of after.

Thanks,
