Subject: [PATCH 6/8] git-p4: better message for "git-p4 sync" when not cloned
Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2011 17:52:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110205225224.GG30963@arf.padd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110205224848.GA30963@arf.padd.com>

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.
