[PATCH v3 4/5] show-ref: Detect dangling refs under --verify as well

From
Vladimir Panteleev <git@thecybershadow.net>
Date
Jan 23, 2017, 18:00 UTC
Message-ID
<20170123180059.4288-5-git@thecybershadow.net>
In-Reply-To
<20170123180059.4288-1-git@thecybershadow.net>

Move detection of dangling refs into show_one, so that they are detected when --verify is present as well as when it is absent.
