Argh, I wanted to comment on this in the cover letter, but forgot and
just left a bunch of nits.

I wonder if we might ever regret naming this "pre-merge" and not, e.g.,
"pre-merge-commit". There's the pre-rebase hook which runs before
git-rebase even starts actually rebasing, so I could well imagine a
"pre-merge" hook which would get called before merging starts.

I'm also pondering whether there should be an "automatic" in there, but
"pre-automatic-merge-commit" looks a bit awkward. Anyway, I'm not even
sure an "automatic merge commit" is a well-defined thing. I can figure
out what it pretty certainly means, but it's not crystal clear. There
might be a need for some more discussion in the added docs for what this
new hook is for and how it compares to pre-commit. Right now, the
proposed docs suggests they're equivalent in a way, but I think that's a
bit confusing -- they are certainly not synonyms, and they'd never both
be called, for example. They can be used for the same purpose in
different scenarios, sure.

I tried coming up with some proposed docs for githooks.txt, but didn't
feel I achieved much of value. :-/
