Comment (by teor):

 I'm happy to change the warning message, but it's quite long already, do
 you have a suggestion for the text we should use?

 The current text is:
 {{{
       log_warn(LD_GENERAL, "Your system clock has been set back in time. "
                "Tor needs an accurate clock to know when the consensus "
                "expires. Clock time is %s, state file time is %s.",
                now_str, last_written_str);
 }}}
