12 | ||
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. | |
20 | ||
21 | ||
22 | OPTIONS | |
23 | ------- | |
24 | ||
25 | -f:: | |
26 | --force:: | |
27 | Update the info files from scratch. | |
28 | ||

30 | OUTPUT | |
31 | ------ | |
32 | ||
33 | Currently the command updates the following files. Please see | |
34 | linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5][repository-layout] for description of | |
35 | what they are for: | |
36 | ||
37 | * objects/info/packs | |
38 | ||
39 | * info/refs | |

44 | When you remove an existing ref, the command fails to update | |
45 | info/refs file unless `--force` flag is given. | |
