[PATCH] show-ref: make --head always show the HEAD ref

The docs seem to say that doing

	git show-ref --head --tags

would show both the HEAD ref and all the tag refs. However, doing both --head and either of --tags or --heads would filter out the HEAD ref.

I think this patch could be done better if I refactor the show_ref() sub
a bit...

This commit passes the current test suite. Where would I put new tests for this? I can't find an existing show-ref test to append to. I would be happy to write show-ref tests if there aren't any already.
