What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Installed identical pre-commit and pre-push hooks:

``` #!/bin/bash

>&1 echo "stdout"
>&2 echo "stderr"

exit 1 ```

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
`git push` and `git commit` should have the same hook behavior.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

The pre-commit hook was run with stdout redirected to stderr but the pre-push hook's output was unaltered.

```
> git commit -m "-" 1>/dev/null

stdout stderr

> git commit -m "-" 2>/dev/null
> git commit -m "-" --no-verify
> git push 1>/dev/null

stderr error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:org/repo.git'

> git push 2>/dev/null

stdout ```

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
There was inconsistency in the behavior when I expected consistency.
Anything else you want to add:
```
> /bin/bash --version

GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21) ```
