Introduce a global level warn() function.

spearce · Junio C Hamano · commit fa39b6b5b11f · 2006-12-21T22:59:34.000-08:00
Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be
used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring,
but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without
running into too many problems.

An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog.
Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an
error as we have skipped over it in the past.
