Previously, when --verify was specified, --head was being ignored, and "show-ref --verify --head HEAD" would always print "fatal: 'HEAD' - not a valid ref". As such, when using show-ref to look up any ref (including HEAD) precisely by name, one would have to special-case looking up the HEAD ref.
This patch adds --head support to show-ref's --verify logic, by explicitly checking if the "HEAD" ref is specified when --head is present.
