git-update-server-info(1) ========================= 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.

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.
