Re: Using clean/smudge scripts from repository

Is this a proper solution, or did I just "luck out"?  Am I perhaps

Yes, we happen to run checkout in the index order, but that is not
something we guarantee, so you can call yourself lucky.  You are
being doubly lucky that nobody in your project is committing a
malicious script in the repository.  It may also count as foolish,
depending on how important the security is for you and how
trustworthy your collaborators are.
