Description

### Problem

The command `git clone` has options `--bare` or `--mirror` but these are not accessible through the UI.

### Proposal

Show radiobuttons for the allowed cloning options in the UI.

### Prior Art (Optional)

Gitg allows "bare" cloning.

Research direction

Start by tracing the UI path that invokes git clone and inspect how clone options are currently passed. Compare the supported --bare and --mirror options with Gitg's behavior, then confirm that the UI exposes the allowed choices and that cloning with each choice produces the expected result.
