I do have older Emacs versions built, but they're not installed globally.

The one that would be in PATH is the master build, but if it breaks, I'd 
still like to be able to commit... I think.

Overall, I think porting the whole commit-msg script from awk (scary!) 
to Elisp would be nice, but it will create this new complication.

At the very least, it will involve a new configuration step, to somehow 
tell Git which Emacs build to use.
