update hook: how to obtain files

Hi,
I have a repo with the pbranch extension enabled, where I'm doing kind
of task based development. For the project we are working on,
intermediate compiled code is stored in the sourcetree, with the
sources. That intermediate code is not automatically recompiled when
executed,  the runtime simply uses the intermediate compiled version
when it finds one. So when I change branches, I have intermediate code
that is not in sync with the sources. This is all on Windows, btw.

That's why I would like to obtain the list of all the files that are in
the update, from an (post-)update hook. So I can delete the wrong
intermediate code files (they will be recompiled automatically the first
time a source is saved by the used ide, or when it is first executed). I
tried Google first, but didn't find what I was looking for (or my search
patterns were just wrong :-( ). So can anyone please give me any hints
on how I can do that ?
