Changing the Commit Message using Hooks

[Wendel]

Hi Greg,

In my case, it's a small project and i have directly control of all
repositories. 
I need a hook to add some information in the commit message everytime
someone commit in his local repository. I tried using the precommit hook
but, it seems i can see but not change the commit message.

Regards,

Wendel B Silva
