git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb servers

  git update-server-info

A dumb server that does not do on-the-fly pack generations must have some auxiliary information files in $GIT_DIR/info and $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info directories to help clients discover what references and packs the server has. This command generates such auxiliary files.

Currently the command updates the following files. Please see *gitrepository-layout*(5) for description of what they are for:

·

objects/info/packs

·

info/refs
