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?
