D'oh. I was stupid and didn't check. I wrongly thought - or guessed -
the start-commit hook had the list of file paths available, just without
the files' new text, but in fact it gets only

# [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository)
# [2] USER (the authenticated user attempting to commit)
# [3] CAPABILITIES (a colon-separated list of capabilities reported
# by the client; see note below)

Thanks.
