Actually, I think you can do it already.

I think the "update" hook runs whenever we're pulling a ref, once for each ref. It might happen just for pushing to a remote, though.

Anyway, with a hook, it's easy enough to just add exactly the kind of thing you are outlining, and yes, it would be repository-local.
