Unfriendly errors when manifest typos are made

I had this in my local-manifest.xml:
 <remove-project name="kernel/common"/>
 <project path="kernel" name="kernel/msm" revision="refs/heads/android-msm-
htc-2.6.24"/>

Which was a typo (I meant ...25):

after fixing the manifest, I got:

bulgaria% repo sync
error: refs/remotes/m/master points nowhere!
info: [kernel/msm] Discarding 2 commits

which seems to have fixed things, but sounded like it had a problem.  later
repo syncs did not fail
