I agree that deserves some worry.

That is incorrect.  The client gets whatever the hook prints.  I'd probably

I'm okay with a buildfarm animal.  It's going to result in a more-cluttered
git history as people push things, break that animal, and push followup fixes.
While that's sad, I expect the level of clutter will go down pretty quickly
and will soon be no worse than we already get from typo-fix pushes.
