_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.
