I think there's value in git hooks, but pre-commit is the wrong hook. This belongs in a hook that runs on attempted push, not on commit.

formatting should definitely be in pre-commit though, otherwise you'll destroy diffs.
"pre-commit the tool" supports the pre-push hook (as well as the various other hooks).
Run the light ones on commit, the heavy ones on push.
