I mostly like it, though I would prefer saying it with less judgement.
Something like the following:
+ ui.warn(_('warning: branches are permanent and global.'
+ ' Should you need a short-lived marker, use a bookmark.
\n'))
(“did you want” implies that most people don’t, which is not true for people
using named feature branches for veriability)
Best wishes,
Arne
