Answer 1

Few points:

• Make sure you have git.exe on path. Do a where git and you must get something like

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
  

  If git.cmd is being used ( from C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.cmd ), you have to do call git pull for it to continue execution. I would say add git.exe to path and start using it.

• Even on Windows, you must have the shebang - #!/bin/sh for the hooks to properly run.

• If you want a hook to run on pull, you probably want to use the post-merge hook. post-receive and post-update run on remote repos when you push to them.

Answer 2

git is probably a batch wrapper around the real executable. Use call git pull.

And those hooks only fire when content is pushed from a remote location, as far as I can tell from the documentation. So they're ignored for pull.
