I am tempted to say that no matter who you are, I am pretty much positive you are doing dumb shit daily, and pretending you are not is laughable, but that would be off the point: I pre-emptively answered your 2 first points in the original comment, so I'm ignoring them. The only part that requires an answer is this: > but then what if you need hooks? Now that's just genius! So, making it possible to disable the functionality that specifically allows for the execution of arbitrary code (which is questionable on its own to say the least — it's pretty much the definition of aforementioned "dumb stuff") is bad, because having to enable it back is "inconvenient", and disabling the whole multi-purpose tool that git is (which has hundreds of user scenarios that don't require allowing to execute arbitrary commands) is good? This is a rhetorical question of course, just think about what you are saying. Worth nothing that making enabling it back inconvenient is a strawman of yours: this is precisely my point that even what they did would be ok, if I was allowed to simply disable their "fix". And it's exactly the problem, that there's no convenient option to do so.
