Using "--verify" together with "--no-flags" makes perfect sense, but git-rev-parse would complain about it when it saw a flag, even though it would never actually use/output that flag.

This fixes it.

This is independent of the "git show" patches, although the problem was triggered by the "git show" usage of git-rev-parse. It's a bug whether git show is merged or not, though.
