You can have git do it automatically for you by setting receive.updateServerInfo in the server repo's config. If the server is yours to control, consider setting up the "smart" http protocol, as it is much more efficient. Details are in "git help http-backend". -Peff -- 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
