Hi,
Is there any possible way to track changes to HEAD using hooks?

Being able to listen using hooks to events such as pre-head-checkout and post-head-checkout would be the best option (from my perspective).

To my knowledge, the only possible way to do that today is by adding a file watch over the refs directory.

Thank you!
