Julian probably should have redirected you to the users@ list, but I'll
answer this question since it bears slightly on development.

Right now, pre-commit hooks cannot edit content. If they manage to do
so somehow, then the result will be that the committing working copy
will be invalid (will have the wrong text bases for the new revision).
It might be possible to extend the architecture to allow content editing
in pre-commit hooks, but it would not be easy.
