One of the things I have my pre-commit hooks do is take either a -t
for the transaction or a
-r for the revision. This way, I can run them with '-r $revision" and
see what they do.

I also load my pre-commit hooks up with print statements while I'm
testing them. If they print to STDOUT, no one will ever see the output
if running as a hook script, but you will see them if you run them on
their own.
