From: Vladimir Panteleev Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 18:00:55 +0000 (+0000) Subject: show-ref: accept HEAD with --verify X-Git-Tag: v2.12.0-rc0~31^2~5 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/ec7c51bc6bda0a836b4955962becedbb702bbc43 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.
