| 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 can |
| 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 and make optimized |
| pull decisions. This command generates such auxiliary files. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| --force:: |
| Update the info files from scratch. |
| |
| |
| OUTPUT |
| ------ |
| |
| Currently the command updates the following files. Please see |
| link:repository-layout.html[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. |
