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.

That agrees with my thinking exactly.

At this point since both of us seem on the fence, I am happy to let
Øystein, as the person who is actually writing the patch, decide.
