It's one command:

hg rebase -b <branch-name> -d <bookmark-name>

But honestly, does that *ever* happen?  If you are collaborating with
a group the group has probably already decided whether to use branches
or bookmarks (or some combination of both with guidelines on when to
use which).  Nobody in the group should be saying to themselves,
"Should I use a branch?  I don't know, I guess I'll just try it...oh,
look at that warning, I guess I should have used a bookmark instead!"

I just don't understand the use case that the warning is trying to address.
