I need to perform some actions (prepare gettext *.mo message files) on my project everytime I run git pull. Is there any suitable git hook, which I could use for this purpose please?

The githooks man page is a complete list of hooks. If it's not on there, it doesn't exist.

That said, there is a post-merge hook, and all pulls include a merge, though not all merges are pulls. It's run after merges, and can't affect the outcome. It never gets executed if there were conflicts; you'd have to pick that up with the post-commit hook if it really matters, or invoke it manually.
