DESCRIPTION
A dumb server that does not do on-the-fly pack generations must have some auxiliary information files in $GIT_DIR/info and $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info directories to help clients discover what references and packs the server has. This command generates such auxiliary files.
OUTPUT
Currently the command updates the following files. Please see gitrepository-layout[5] for a description of what they are for:
- 
objects/info/packs
 - 
info/refs
