6 git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb servers
11 'git-update-server-info' [--force]
15 A dumb server that does not do on-the-fly pack generations can
16 have some auxiliary information files in $GIT_DIR/info and
17 $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info directories to help clients discover
18 what references and packs the server has and make optimized
19 pull decisions. This command generates such auxiliary files.
26 Update the info files from scratch.
32 Currently the command updates the following files. Please see
33 link:repository-layout.html[repository-layout] for description
43 When you remove an existing ref, the command fails to update
44 info/refs file unless `--force` flag is given.
