Reasonable.

No. Commit hooks are always for systems with git.

A nit.
So let's check:

But has anyone actually used those id's? I don't think I ever have.

I'm still not entirely convinced, but the following would be better hook:
import leo.core.leoVersion as v
v.create_commit_timestamp_json(after=True)
This will create a new-style .json file (see below). The id/hash will be
the string: "after <the last hash>" I think this is clever. It (mostly)
solves the problem of looking ahead to see what the hash for the upcoming
commit will be.
*Summary*
Further discussions will not block b1.
The following code changes should happen before b1, coming later today:
- create_commit_timestamp_json will create legacy timestamp fields, as well
as the new "date" and "hash" fields. If the new "after" keyword arg is
True, the hash will start with "after ".
- get_version_from_json should report "legacy" timestamps as before.
In short, both leoVersion.py and any new git hooks should handle .json
files in an upward compatible way. The user will always see at least as
much data in the signon as before.
Thanks again, Terry. This has been an enjoyable debate.
