Bug Description
Branches are deletable if they have no subscribers, are not linked to any bugs or blueprints, and have not yet been mirrored.
Where this is true for a branch, the branch page should be specific about it. For example, "This branch cannot be deleted because it is associated with _bug 123456789_." Or, "This branch cannot be deleted because it has been mirrored." This would help people understand what they need to do to (if possible) to make the branch deleteable.

This is desirable, but it can easily turn into a maintenance nightmare, since the error message generation would need to be updated every time a new kind of branch link needs to be added.
I would favor some generic mechanism that does not produce error messages of perfect quality but is low-maintenance.
