Quoting `man mr`:

       pre_ and post_
           If "pre_action" is set, its command is run before mr performs the
           specified action. Similarly, "post_action" commands are run after
           mr successfully performs the specified action. For example,
           "pre_commit" is run before committing; "post_update" is run after
           updating.
