This version looks fine to me, and I would be OK with it being applied.

However, I have one small nit. The output produces long lines with a lot
of repeated text (assuming you have multiple matched branches, which is
likely if you have a mirrored setup). So maybe it would be nicer to have
something like:

  warning: non-remote branches were not removed; you can delete them with:
          git branch -d master
          git branch -d next
          git branch -d topic

which is a little more obvious (to me, anyway), and allows you to cut
and paste if you really did want to delete them.

But this should be a pretty seldom seen message, so it might not matter
much.  I just thought I would throw it out there.
