I have a system here where it can be quite common to have thousands of branches in the remote repository, and where I'd like to update some local state according to the appearance of new branches (or updates of pre-existing ones).

Currently, I use a "git for-each-ref" after pulling and then check (for each one of those refs) if an update is warranted, but this can get slow with that many branches. Is there some way to get something like the post-receive hook to be run for "git pull", so that the script gets told directly which (remote tracking) branches have been modified/created?
