  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 A dumb server that does not do on-the-fly pack generations must
  16 have some auxiliary information files in $GIT_DIR/info and
  17 $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info directories to help clients discover
  18 what references and packs the server has.  This command
  19 generates such auxiliary files.
