Hi, I stumbled upon a small discrepancy between the documentation of git-show-ref and its actual behavior. The documentation of the `--verify` flag of git-show-ref says: "If nothing matches, 'git show-ref' will return an error code of 1" Yet it seems to return 1 only if it is also called with --quiet. Tested with the `next` branch: [~/dev/git] $ ./git show-ref --verify refs/heads/tagada fatal: 'refs/heads/tagada' - not a valid ref [~/dev/git] $ echo $? 128 [~/dev/git] $ ./git show-ref --quiet --verify refs/heads/tagada [~/dev/git] $ echo $? 1 Regards, Marc Legendre
