If info/refs is "usually stale", it is a bug in the repository to have such a stale file. The real reason for this patch is that a repository served by gitweb is not necessarily meant to be fetched over HTTP and info/refs does not have to be there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
