Hello Matthieu,

Thank you for the suggestions. I've adapted the patch message and
added the signed-off.

No, there wasn't a reason not to move the code. I just wasn't
sure if it had any side effects. But I rechecked and it should
work fine. Updating version attached.

When I first used the applypatch-msg hook I was confused because
the messages were different and I thought the hook wasn't
working, hence the patch.

I'm not sure how extensive most applypatch-msg hooks modify the
commit message (in my case just a number prepended), but I think
it's more natural and less confusing to see the message which is
being applied.

If the original behaviour is preferred, a short comment in
githooks(5) should prevent any confusion.

Regards
Simon
