ref_transaction_verify(): new function to check a reference's value
If NULL is passed to ref_transaction_update()'s new_sha1 parameter,
then just verify old_sha1 (under lock) without trying to change the
new value of the reference.
Use this functionality to add a new function ref_transaction_verify(),
which checks the current value of the reference under lock but doesn't
change it.
Use ref_transaction_verify() in the implementation of "git update-ref
--stdin"'s "verify" command to avoid the awkward need to "update" the
reference to its existing value.
