git-update-server-info - Update auxiliary info file to help dumb servers

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.
