This message says:
"Hey, we looked at the branch cache and it was built when the tip was
X.. but we've never heard of X. So I guess we can't use that cache and
have to start over. No big deal, I wouldn't mention it except you seemed
extra-curious."
If you get it repeatedly, it probably means that there are problems
overwriting the cache when it's rebuilt. This is a natural occurrence on
multi-user systems, so it doesn't generally warrant a message either.
But we should probably add a debug-level message for that.
