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