Test #8 is just a matter of updating output. But #18 is explicitly about
checking that "remote show" does not show symbolic refs. But Jay's patch
is about explicitly showing symbolic refs (just doing so as a ref-name
instead of a sha1):

 * FAIL 18: "remote show" does not show symbolic refs
               git clone one three &&
               (cd three &&
                git remote show origin > output &&
                ! grep HEAD < output &&
                ! grep -i stale < output)

I guess we could tighten the grep to

 ! egrep "HEAD: [0-9a-f]{40}" < output

but it may just make sense to get rid of the test; the exact output is
already covered by test #8. Squashable patch is below.

Thank you Jeff. I swear I ran t5505-remote.sh successfully but
obviously I am misremembering.
