Pretty clear case for not hashing however.

Hashing the password on the client limits the password entropy to entropy of hash you generate. Any addition entropy in the original password is thrown away.

Also naive hashing in the client just turns the hash into your password, all of the standard issues of transmitting passwords still exists (such as replay attacks as you mention).
