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

   such auxiliary files.
