Hi,

this is the third version of my patch series that introduces a new `git
show-ref --exists` mode to check for reference existence.

Changes compared to v2:

    - Patch 5: Document why we need `exclude_existing_options.enabled`,
      which isn't exactly obvious.

    - Patch 6: Fix a grammar issue in the commit message.

    - Patch 9: Switch to `test_cmp` instead of grep(1).

Thanks!

Patrick

         builtin/show-ref: stop using global variable to count matches
     
         When passing patterns to git-show-ref(1) we're checking whether any
    -    reference matches -- if none does, we indicate this condition via an
    +    reference matches -- if none do, we indicate this condition via an
         unsuccessful exit code.
     
         We're using a global variable to count these matches, which is required
