NAME top

       git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb
       servers

SYNOPSIS top

       git update-server-info [-f | --force]

DESCRIPTION top

       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 top

       -f, --force
           Update the info files from scratch.
