Never-the-less I still think it is a 'Bad Thing(tm)' to have a
pre-commit hook altering on the fly what need to be committed... so I
suggest we stick with the 'warn but do no harm' approach (rather than
merely fixing/reverting the commit above).

As somebody bitten hard by this behavior I can only say: Yes, please.

No hook should ever think itself to be clever enough to change state
without backup(*), even if it would be bugfree.

Best,

(*) And some obscure named file silently created in /tmp is not a
backup ....
