| 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. |
