It's one approach.
Another is disabling the pre-commit hook in your repository altogether, by
chmod a-x .git/hooks/pre-commit.
And yet another, which I have been considering doing the next time I package
git (right now, I'm kind of waiting for git 1.5.3 to come out), is to override
the upstream git's decision that on cygwin, the templates installed
in /usr/share/git-core/templates are installed with executable permissions;
whereas on Linux, they are installed without. In other words, _somebody_ (not
me) thought that because windows permissions can't be relied on, that ALL git
hooks should be enabled by default; whereas on Linux, where permissions are
reliable, ALL git hooks are disabled by default and you must chmod +x them to
turn them on. This seems inconsistent to me, but not to the point that I have
complained upstream on the git mailing list; perhaps you'd like to raise the
point there?

Attaching the contents of your email was rather redundant. You may want to
revisit how your mailer is set up.
