I think so. But as a person who mainly works in the field of security
for about 15 years, I do not yet see why such transformations should
directly imply security problems. Of course, poorly implemented
scripts could, but that's not an argument. If an attacker has access
to the repository, he could also modify source code and wait until
someone checks out, compiles, and runs it.
