The pre-receive hook is allowed to inspect the objects that have been uploaded in order to make its access decision. Thus those objects must have been unpacked (or indexed into a new pack) so git commands in the pre-receive hook can read them. > If it's expected and accepted behaviour, what other options do I have > to prevent a scenario like the above? There currently isn't a way to stop this, other than to use something in front of git-receive-pack, e.g. Gitosis, to deny even forking the receive-pack binary for the user. -- Shawn.
