How embarassing!  Thank you for pointing that out.  I have no idea how
that happened.  I *always* start writing my perl scripts with 'use
strict; use warnings;' ... excuses excuses

Good point, fixed.

I'm not sure where you're seeing this.  build_metafile blindly opens a
file relative to the directory 'git --rev-parse --show-toplevel'
reports.  post-commit calls 'build_metafile .metafile' which will
create .metafile in the git repo toplevel directory.

It's a relic of the original project I scavanged from.  This has been fixed.

post-merge is, or should be, a symlink to post-commit.

I'm not sure what you mean.  .metafile will be overwritten with the
current information but since its being committed to the repository
the changes will always be accessible.  Nothing else is affected.
