It's not immediately obvious options which options are applicable to
what subcommand ni git-show-ref(1) because all options exist as global
state. This can easily cause confusion for the reader.

Refactor options for the `--exclude-existing` subcommand to be contained
in a separate structure. This structure is stored on the stack and
passed down as required. Consequentially, it clearly delimits the scope
of those options and requires the reader to worry less about global
state.

Do we need this `enabled` flag? Can't the same be achieved by checking
whether `pattern` is NULL or not (see below)?

Since you're renaming `match` to `opts->pattern`...

... and since you're touching this line anyway, maybe it makes sense
to rename `matchlen` to `patternlen`?

Especially since, as shown in this context, `matchlen` is really the
length of the _pattern_, not the length of the resulting _match_.

(continued from above) Can't this be handled without a separate `enabled` flag?

    if (exclude_existing_opts.pattern)
        ...

Yeah, we do. It's perfectly valid to pass `--exclude-existing` without
the optional pattern argument. We still want to use this mode in that
case, but don't populate the pattern.

An alternative would be to assign something like a sentinel value in
here. But I'd think that it's clearer to instead have an explicit
separate field for this.

Yes, let's do it. It's been more of an oversight rather than
intentional to keep the previous name.
