I don't know if this is evil or not. I just find it interesting. If
you have and update hook on the remote that returns non-zero,
rejecting a push, you can later find the hash (on the remote). I'm
glad it get to the remote because I do "git diff --name-only $2 $3" to
decide whether or not to accept. But, I wonder if most people are
aware that it hangs around until it is garbage collected. This could
potentially be an attack vector, or at least a liability. (Imagine
some IP troll uploading their code to you and subpoenaing your
server.)
