As far as I can see that's the only argument that git-commit passes on
to the commit-msg hook. Can't you just call something like git-status
from the hook or do you need the information passed specifically as an
argument?

I can always get last commit from `.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG'` - a fixed
file. Isn't passing that as an argument a bit pointless? I want files
I tried to commit specifically passed in as an argument.

Are you suggesting me to run some plumbing command, parse the result
and get the required data ? Is there an easier way to get this done?
