particular ref exists.
+By default, shows the tags, heads, and remote refs.

The --exclude-existing form is a filter that does the inverse, it shows the
refs from stdin that don't exist in the local repository.
--head::
- Show the HEAD reference.
+ Show the HEAD reference, even if it would normally be filtered out.
--tags::
--heads::
- Limit to only "refs/heads" and "refs/tags", respectively. These
- options are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored
- in "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" are displayed.

Make 'git show-ref' act as a filter that reads refs from stdin of the
- form "`{caret}(?:<anything>\s)?<refname>(?:{backslash}{caret}{})?$`"
+ form "`^(?:<anything>\s)?<refname>(?:\^{})?$`"
and performs the following actions on each:
(1) strip "{caret}{}" at the end of line if any;
(2) ignore if pattern is provided and does not head-match refname;
