This is the simplest fix: if we had problems syncing the
manifest.git directory and we were the ones that created it,
we should delete it. This doesn't try to do anything complex
like try to recover from a .repo directory that got broken in
some other way.

TEST=manual
Init once with a bad URL:
$ repo init -u http://foobar.example.com
Getting manifest ...
from http://foobar.example.com
Connection closed by 172.22.121.77
error: Couldn't resolve host 'foobar.example.com' while accessing http://foobar.example.com/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
fatal: cannot obtain manifest http://foobar.example.com
Init again: identical to the first. Good:
$ repo init -u http://foobar.example.com
Getting manifest ...
from http://foobar.example.com
Connection closed by 172.22.121.77
error: Couldn't resolve host 'foobar.example.com' while accessing http://foobar.example.com/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
fatal: cannot obtain manifest http://foobar.example.com
Init with correct URL:
$ repo init -u http://git.chromium.org/git/manifest -m minilayout.xml
Getting manifest ...
from http://git.chromium.org/git/manifest
[ ... cut ... ]
repo initialized in /.../repoiniterr
Try a bad URL after a good one; it doesn't get saved (good):
$ repo init -u http://foobar.example.com
Connection closed by 172.22.121.77
error: Couldn't resolve host 'foobar.example.com' while accessing http://foobar.example.com/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
fatal: cannot obtain manifest http://foobar.example.com
Just to confirm, I can still do a good one after a bad...
$ repo init -u http://git.chromium.org/git/manifest -m minilayout.xml
