It was sent over stderr, which was proxied down to the client by
the SSH daemon.

Because its echoed to the tty by the SSH client, without Git ever
seeing it.

Now its being parsed out of the stream by the git client, using
the same code that displays the progress messages during clone/fetch.

Depends on your perspective.  Its nice to know that the messages
came from the server, rather than from your client.  :-)

No.  Other than to have the hook not output anything at all.
