    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.
