====== update-server-info ======
When using %%http://%% or any other "dumb" protocol, git needs to set up files so a client knows what refs and packs are available.

===== enable the post-update hook =====
  * On your remote repo, cd into your repo.git/hooks
  * copy the sample file to a file that will execute<code>
cp post-update.sample post-update
</code>
  * make sure it is executable<code>
chmod +x post-update
</code>
  * since the command isn't on Site5 exactly the way it's listed in this file, open it and edit the file like this<code>
#exec git-update-server-info
git update-server-info
</code>
