manifest/project.list shouldn't die if project doesn't exist

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I get the following crash if I have already deleted
packages/apps/SOME_PACKAGE locally. I think it should just continue on, as
it's just going to try to delete it anyway.

This is after removing packages/apps/SOME_PACKAGE from manifest.xml and
re-syncing.

Fetching projects: 100% (163/163), done.

Here is the fix.

Tested by modifying Android's manifest.xml to only contain external/ after a 
fresh
repo init, repo syncing, and seeing no error message.

I can't think of any cases where this would be problematic, as it was about to 
be
deleted anyway.

I encountered the problem when I removed the whole workspace,
rm -rf $WORKSPACE/*
deleting everything except the hidden .repo directory.
This was to get a quick sync but a completely clean build.
If you've done that, you can work around this bug by doing
rm -f .repo/project.list
also before you do repo sync.

We are having this issue.

Is there a resolution?
