If any functionality exists in .git/hook/pre-commit prior to running secureli init, we should not remove the preexisting functionality. Instead, we should integrate logic from secureli with the existing pre-commit hook code.

Note that we will want a way to identify any logic added via seCureLI so that we can make changes to it (e.g. updates) without affecting non-secureli logic.

Here are a few ways this could be implemented:

  1. (Easier but less correct) we could back up the state of .git/hooks/pre-commit at secureli install time. Any time we need to make a change/update to the hook, we can append the new logic onto the backup file. This won't account for any changes manually made to the pre-commit file after secureli was installed.
  2. (Slightly more difficult) we could add some delimiter (e.g. #### BEGIN seCureLI ####/#### END seCureLI ####) to indicate sections of the pre-commit file managed by seCureLI.
  3. We could have a single line in the pre-commit file that executes a separate script managed by seCureLI. Then we could rewrite/regenerate this script for any updates, and avoid making any additional changes to the pre-commit hook.

After a call to brainstorm ideas, this is the current proposal:

  1. Check if .git/hook/pre-commit exists. If so, backup to .git/hooks/pre-commit.backup.<datetime>
  2. Mention in the output that we backed up the file
  3. Write the new file .git/hooks/pre-commit
  4. Include at the top of the file: # Auto-generated by seCureLI

secureli-372

closes #372 

Handles overwriting existing pre-commit install in the user's repo on
new install

## Changes
* Adds logic to check if pre-commit hook exists and if so, creates a
backup of the current file and overwrites it with SeCureLI's pre-commit
content
* Print a warning to the user to let them know that the file is being
overwritten and that a backup is created

## Testing
Initialize SeCureLI on a git repo with an existing pre-commit file
