There is the post-applypatch hook you can define after the patch
gets applied and produces a commit.

I use it to maintain the amlog notes in my repository (iow, I do not
amend the commit, but add notes to the resulting commit so that I
can tell, given a commit, which message resulted in it).  

If you want to amend the resulting commit instead, the place to do
so would be where I call "git notes --ref amlog" in the sample
script.
