git-p4: better message for "git-p4 sync" when not cloned

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.
