You should explain more why the check is redundant with the ones in
ref-filter. You discussed this with Junio on the last round. The
arguments you gave would deserve to appear in the commit message IMHO.
Pointing to the exact checks in ref-filter would help.

It may make sense to split the commit into several smaller ones, so that
you can give a precise commit message for each error reporting you
remove (error(_("branch '%s' does not point at a commit") and
error(_("some refs could not be read"))).
