sync: Fix partial sync false positive

In the case of a project being removed from the manifest, and in the
path in which the project used to exist, and symlink is place to another
project repo will start to warn about partial syncs when a partial sync
did not occur.

Repro steps:

1) Create a manifest with two projects. Project a -> a/ and project b -> b/
2) Run `repo sync`
3) Remove project b from the manifest.
4) Use `link` in the manifest to link all of Project a to b/
