Remove the error "branch '%s' does not point at a commit" in apppend_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. This seems to be the wrong codepath whose purpose is not to diagnose and report a repository corruption. If we care about such a repository corruption, we should report it from fsck instead. 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.
