Description of problem:

Currently in pulp the sync history provides a nice summary of the error when a sync failed.  

The sync task however appears to show no such nice error (See examples below of sync task and history item for a filed sync).

This prevents us from showing why the sync failed to the user because the task only gets moved to the history after some seemingly random amount of time.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.1.1


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a repo pointing to a bad url
2. Attempt to sync repo
3. Request the sync task and try to see why it failed

Actual results:
Sync task gives no indication why it failed

Expected results:
Sync task gives some indication why it failed.
