deleting a branch causes sync to abort

Affected Version:
Environment:
repo version v1.6.8.7-2-1-g6f0ebe9
      (from git+ssh://xxx.com:29418/xxx-android/tools/repo.git)
git version 1.6.0.6
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 30 2008, 15:41:38)
[GCC 4.3.2 20080917 (Red Hat 4.3.2-4)]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create refs/heads/foo1
2. sync
3. Delete refs/heads/foo1
4. sync

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The missing branch is bypassed, possibly with a warning, and the rest of
the tree is synced.

Instead:

Fetching projects: 100% (3/3), done.
Syncing work tree: 63% (106/168) Traceback (most recent call last):
