Yes, it seems that I can just replace 5/8 with this and the
remainder can stay as they are.
While I was trying to address your "actually already report", I
spotted a typo and then found that the early part of the second
paragraph is a bit hard, so here is what I ended up with.
branch: drop non-commit error reporting
Remove the error "branch '%s' does not point at a commit" in
append_ref(), which reports branch refs which do not point to
commits. Also remove the error "some refs could not be read" in
print_ref_list() which is triggered as a consequence of the first
error.
The purpose of these codepaths is not to diagnose and report a
repository corruption. If we care about such a corruption, we
should report it from fsck instead, which we already do.
This also helps in a smooth port of branch.c to use ref-filter APIs
over the following patches. On the other hand, ref-filter ignores refs
which do not point at commits silently.
