Grammo (third-person singular 'prints' misspelt without 's'; the
"when" clause has a complex subject but no verb).
Perhaps this will salvage what you meant:
"git filter-branch -- --all" prints error messages when
processing refs that point at objects that are not
committish.

Please sign-off your patch (cf. Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

Thanks.
