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?
