Also, most have names that start with either "pre-" or "post-".
It seems reasonable for both "pre-update-branch" and
"post-update-branch" to exist.

I don't see what would be the point in that.

Do you see the point in the other hooks doing that?

Yes, there a reason for the existance of those hooks. Now tell me why would
anybody use post-update-branch instead of pre-update-branch?

I have a branch which should always be recompiled on update;
post-update-branch would be a good place for that.

And why would pre-update-branch not serve that purpose?

Because the code that needs to be compiled is not yet in the workspace
