ISTM that the warning is proving its worth already by illuminating some questionable practices (treating any file in $GIT_DIR as a potential reference) :-) However, it might be that fixing 100% of the questionable practices is too much work. In that case, I suggest that the warning not be ripped out altogether, but rather that the warning only be emitted for invalid references whose names start with "refs/".
