Junio C Hamano e01de1c912 refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symref
Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain,
hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the
standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the
standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn
dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08).

It turns out that the issue is deeper than that.  After f8948e2, a symref
that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL
sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452
(do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22)
incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never
used in the code.

Fix this by:

 - adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test;

 - introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling
   symref);

 - move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping
   dangling refs" code block.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
