A pre-commit hook script *may not* change the pending transaction. It
will mess up your working copy. It's been discussed on this list many,
many times. I'm surprised there's no FAQ for it yet.

Instead, have your users use 'auto-props', and (optionally) use a
pre-commit hook script to *reject* any commits that don't conform. See
this FAQ:

Then set auto-props in the 'global' config file of every machine, so
that every user of every machine is affected.
