This sounds like something outside the responsibility of Git. You could instead make a script that does the things you want. Either a simple shell- and/or bat-script, or use a real build tool like Rake, Gradle or something like that. It depends on your target platform really, and what you are trying to do.
At our place we do semi-automated releases using Jenkins<http://jenkins-ci.org/>, our CI server, which does the cloning-git-repo part, and then triggers a Java build (combining Maven/Ant/Gradle) to build the artifact and copies it onto a fileserver accessible from the places we want to deploy it. A very useful part of the automation is that a build is triggered by a Git hook, as soon as someone pushes to the central Git repository. So a few minutes after pushing, there's a new release lying on the fileserver ready for testing.
