I _think_ "give only info that is necessary" is cleaner as an
interface in theory, but have two niggles myself:
1. the hooks must do the "argument parsing" loop (you already
mentioned this);
2. the hooks cannot tell if the lack of "amending" argument is
because the version of Git predates that "amending" hint
support, or because the user action is a straight "commit" not
an "commit --amend".
In any case, I do not have strong preference myself.
