Can you describe how that warning will help whom in the bigger picture?

The way as I understand everybody runs "git update-server-info" is:

 * "git push" pushes into a publishing repository, then
 * "post-receive" (or "post-update") hook triggers "update-server-info".

If you spit out a warning from update-server-info, it will be shown to the
pusher over sideband, but this will not necessarily help the pusher, who
may or may not have shell access to the repository.
