That's by design:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/73368/focus=73994

That is, when you accidentally push secret data, you can rewind your refs
on the server. Even though the objects still live on the server (until
they are garbage-collected) nobody will be able to fetch your secret stuff
even if they happen to know the SHA1.
