>From the comments at the beginning of the prepare-commit-msg.sample script:
# An example hook script to prepare the commit log message. # Called by "git commit" with the name of the file that has the # commit message, followed by the description of the commit # message's source. The hook's purpose is to edit the commit # message file. So basically the first argument passed to the hook is the name of the file which will contain the commit message. By getting your hook script to amend the contents of that file, you will amend the commit message. There are many examples of the use of this script that you can find by Googling.
