Issue
amend param is not available to pre-commit hook.

Problem
Cannot write a pre-commit hook that stops amending a commit that is
present in other branches.

Steps to Reproduce (git version 2.21.1 on macOS 10.15.3)
1. In the pre-commit hook:
   echo "DEBUG 0='$0' 1='$1'"

2. run:
   git commit --amend

Result
   DEBUG 0='.git/hooks/pre-commit' 1=''

Expected Result
   DEBUG 0='.git/hooks/pre-commit' 1='--amend'

Please, let me know if you need other information.
I'm looking forward for a fix or workaround.

Thank you,
