As has been said, you can't prompt the user for anything, and you can
only show the user a message if you print it to stderr (not stdout)
and exit from the hook with a non-zero exit code. If you do this in
the pre-commit hook it will abort the commit. However it has been
recently pointed out on the list that you *can* do this in a post-
commit hook, since there is no consequence at all for failing from
the post-commit hook. The user will see your message, and the commit
will have succeeded. So you could consider alerting the user about
their missing bugtraq properties in the post-commit hook.
