Previously, when --verify was specified, show-ref would use a separate code path which ignored --head. Thus, "git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" (because the user is not interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD), and used with "--head" (because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out), i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected.
Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD" when "--head" is given in the codepath that handles "--verify", so that all valid full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.
