info/refs::
- This file is to help dumb transports to discover what
- refs are available in this repository. Whenever you
- create/delete a new branch or a new tag, `git
- update-server-info` should be run to keep this file
- up-to-date if the repository is published for dumb
- transports. The `git-receive-pack` command, which is
- run on a remote repository when you `git push` into it,
- runs `hooks/update` hook to help you achieve this.
+ This file helps dumb transports discover what refs are
