Hi,

After pre-commit returned non-zero status, I could see new dangling objects in my repo. I think it's not normal, because pre-commit is often used for checking formation of source files and after changing this files, hash of object will be also changed and even after successfull commit dangling object will be still alive.

-- With best regards, Sergey I. Sharybin

You also get dangling objects by running git add. There's no harm in them, they will be cleaned up automatically.
