14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16A dumb server that does not do on-the-fly pack generations must
17have some auxiliary information files in $GIT_DIR/info and
18$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info directories to help clients discover
19what references and packs the server has. This command
20generates such auxiliary files.
