How does receive-pack and pre-receive hook works ?

I have added following in pre-recieve hook; all works fine. git
rev-list --pretty d6d147f432869037a7ac8bdca3a2d5bc0cdc1e9f
^a3fe19833480023b72350d6e56e939cbd0ba2c8b

I Would like know where does Git saves whatever I am pushing before
exit 0 of this hook; Specifically how does it understand about
'd6d147f432869037a7ac8bdca3a2d5bc0cdc1e9f' which is not part of
destination depot / repo.

Thx/ Mahesh.
