Well, I was following Ian's idea here... but I think after he said it
that it made sense to me in that the types of things you'd be doing in a
hook to modify the commit message or that purpose that would serve is
likely different than the need to modify the displayed info. If it was
together, any hooks would have to split the data on the separator, and
then put it back together... I figure why not have the split and make
each hook have a more defined purpose?

Ok. Will do.
