From ec7c51bc6bda0a836b4955962becedbb702bbc43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Panteleev Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 18:00:55 +0000 Subject: show-ref: accept HEAD with --verify Previously, when --verify was specified, show-ref would use a separate code path which did not handle HEAD and treated it as an invalid ref. Thus, "git show-ref --verify HEAD" (where "--verify" is used because the user is not interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD) did not work as expected. Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD" as well in the codepath that handles "--verify", so that all valid full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.
