I pushed a repo up to my server. I want to view this repo with gitweb
but it is not visible in my project list like my other projects. I
suspect this is because the newly pushed repo is missing .git/index. I
ran update-server-info on the repo and that didn't create .git/index.
What command builds this index?

.git/index is the default name used for what is commonly referred to as
the staging area these days. It's only needed when you have a work tree,
and is expected to be absent from a bare repository.
A more likely cause for a repository to not be picked up by gitweb is
file permissions.

It needed to be added to the gitweb projects file.

The index is associated with the work tree. Since gitweb is supposed to
read and show the history and never the work tree state, it would be a bug
if it required it to operate.
