By the way, I have no strong preference between "read-ref, check quiet and show-one" and "show-ref", so if you make --verify to consistently call "show_ref()" for both refs/heads/master and HEAD, that is also perfectly fine. I just do not want to see the same feature/codepath to call two different implementations that happens to do the same thing today. Thanks.
