<repository>
    The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the URLS section below for more information on
    specifying repositories.

<directory>
    The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish" part of the source repository is used if no
    directory is explicitly given (repo for /path/to/repo.git and foo for host.xz:foo/.git). Cloning into
    an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty.
