_CheckDirReference: log actual error before suggesting --force-sync

A recent backward incompatible change created confusion and loss of
productivity and highlighted the very limited amount of information
provided when repo sync fails; merely recommending to --force-sync
and blow-up git repos without any hint as to why. The addition of
this basic _error(...) call would have provided a clue and will in
the future.

repo

Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.
