ref-filter: stop setting FILTER_REFS_INCLUDE_BROKEN
Of the ref-filter callers, for-each-ref and git-branch both set the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag (but git-tag does not, which is a weird
inconsistency). But now that GIT_REF_PARANOIA is on by default, that
produces almost the same outcome for all three.
The one exception is that GIT_REF_PARANOIA will omit dangling symrefs.
That's a better behavior for these tools, as they would never include
such a symref in the main output anyway (they can't, as it doesn't point
to an object). Instead they issue a warning to stderr. But that warning
is somewhat useless; a dangling symref is a perfectly reasonable thing
to have in your repository, and is not a sign of corruption. It's much
friendlier to just quietly ignore it.
And in terms of robustness, the warning gains us little. It does not
impact the exit code of either tool. So while the warning _might_ clue
in a user that they have an unexpected broken symref, it would not help
any kind of scripted use.
This patch converts for-each-ref and git-branch to stop using the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag. That gives them more reasonable behavior, and
harmonizes them with git-tag.
We have to change one test to adapt to the situation. t1430 tries to
trigger all of the REF_ISBROKEN behaviors from the underlying ref code.
It uses for-each-ref to do so (because there isn't any other mechanism).
That will no longer issue a warning about the symref which points to an
invalid name, as it's considered dangling (and we can instead be sure
that it's _not_ mentioned on stderr). Note that we do still complain
about the illegally named "broken..symref"; its problem is not that it's
dangling, but the name of the symref itself is illegal.
