No, pre-precommit.  (aka prepare-commit)

The existing precommit hook is invoked too late in the commit process to 
permit the working directory to be modified.

Quite ugly, because every time you ran 'changes', it would show spurious 
deletions for all the files in the sxw.  You'd have to explode every sxw 
file before running 'changes' to avoid that.
