The sample pre-push hook provided with git [1] will crash if the local
repo is not up to date with the remote as $remote_sha is not present
in the local repo. I'm not sure if this patch is exactly correct, it's
just provided as an example.

Given that people are likely crafting their own solutions based on the
examples, it's probably good to get right.

(This is just something I noticed and thought you might be interested
in, but is not important to me. I actually do care about the smudge
filter issue.)
