Why you don't want to allow disabling "branches are global and permanent, did you want a bookmark"?

Indeed you have, and you got a number of definitive responses there. Why
should I even read this thread when it seems its point is simply to try
to gather popular support for a solution that I've already rejected? If
I were the type of project leader who accepted solutions I didn't like
just because they were popular.. we'd all be using Git.

If you want to make forward progress, suggest a solution that hasn't
been definitively rejected. For instance, I don't know.. how about
automatically suppressing the message in repos that already have 10
branches? That's probably sufficiently n00b-proof, while getting out of
the way of heavy branch users.
