Actually, I meant to provide the hook with the literal words "HEAD~1"

It also extends naturally to indicating a merge commit ("HEAD" or
"HEAD~1" followed by some other ref). I don't know if that is useful or
not, but it seems like the same realm of information as whether or not
we are amending.

I agree with this, though I have no itch regarding all of the commit
parents for a merge commit so I'll leave that for another to scratch.
So, I'm sending a new series to use HEAD~1 and HEAD rather than amend
and normal.
