footnote: to both PRE-UPDATE and POST-UPDATE the hook is handed a PATH
argument - a file containing paths being considered by the action
performed. However, this file is generously vague - it simply defines
PATH\TO\FOLDER which ever folder I initiated UPDATE on -- even in the
POST-UPDATE hook when the full set of 'what was done' is known, this file
still only lists the generic roots of the folders used to initiate the
UPDATE action.
