[PATCH v2 6/8] git-p4: better message for "git-p4 sync" when not cloned

A common error is to do "git-p4 sync" in a repository that was not initialized by "git-p4 clone". There will be no p4 refs. The error message in this case is a traceback for an assertion, which is confusing.

Change it instead to explain the likely problem.
