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.

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