[v3,3/3] scalar reconfigure: help users remove buggy repos

Commit Message

From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

When running 'scalar reconfigure -a', Scalar has warning messages about
the repository missing (or not containing a .git directory). Failures
can also happen while trying to modify the repository-local config for
that repository.

These warnings may seem confusing to users who don't understand what
they mean or how to stop them.

Add a warning that instructs the user how to remove the warning in
future installations.
