git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb servers
git-update-server-info [--force]
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.
Update the info files from scratch.
Currently the command updates the following files. Please see repository-layout for description of what they are for:
objects/info/packs
info/refs
When you remove an existing ref, the command fails to update info/refs file unless --force flag is given.
