To some extent that makes sense - a "client side hook", called to generate
template log messages.
On the other hand, such things could not be configurable by the repository,
since that would provide the opportunity for the server to run arbitrary
code on the client at commit time, which would be a major security hole.
Perhaps instead what we need is a generic "log-template" configuration
thing, determined by the repository, which would be a text string, which has
certain substitutions performed on it by the client.
