IIRC, historicaly Git allowed some weirdly named refs which made some
commands ambiguous (e.g. a branch named after an option like '-d').
We're forbidding their creation so people shouldn't have any, but we
it's important to continue showing them in case some people have old
bad-named branches lying around.

Agreed. But then again the warning tells about the broken ref, as in it's name
So I think It's ok?

for e.g. t1430 :
[trash directory.t1430-bad-ref-name] ../../git branch
warning: ignoring ref with broken name refs/heads/broken...ref
* master

[ Late answer, I'm still catching up with my holiday's emails ;-) ]

OK, the warning gives a different interface but it seems as good as the
old one.
