Hmph.
I may be missing something, but wouldn't the whole point of the
warning be noisy and pesky as long as the user _uses_ that
configuration? It is not like "you can set this knob and delay the
removal past Git 3.0". If the user migrates away from the mechanism
that is being removed, we would stop bugging the user about the
stale setting, so I do not see why we want to add anything extra
(other than possibly telling them how to migrate away from
$GIT_DIR/{branches,remotes}/ using "git remote" in the warning
message itself).
Thanks.
