Re: GIT Hooks and security

I was wondering : What if I had a "malicious" GIT repository who can
"inject" code  via git hooks mechanism : someone clone my repo and
some malicious code is executed when a certain GIT hook is triggered
(for example on commit ("prepare-commit-msg' hook))

In that somebody else's clone, you will not have _your_ malicious
hook installed, unless that cloner explicitly does something stupid,
like copying that malicious hook.
