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