When gitifyhg fails, give a more sensible error message than IOError #79

Closed dusty-phillips closed 11 years ago

Sometimes (rarely!) gitifyhg fails in a clone and git cleans up it's attempted clone. This causes the .git directory to be deleted, and when gitifyhg tries to save marks, it fails with an IOError.

Ideally, whatever caused gitifyhg to fail should be fixed, but we should also catch this deceptive error message and output that somethnig happened earlier and to rerun with DEBUG enabled.

Here's something that will do this.
