Abillity to clone git repository in non-empty folder [feature-request]

When I try to clone a repository using the pygit2.clone_repository function, it keeps giving me a '.' exists and is not an empty directory error. I can solve this by appending a backward slash / to the pathstr. I, however, for my project, need to be able to clone multiple repositories next to each other inside a catkin workspace. There are several easy workarounds for this problem, but I wondered if this is supported out of the box. I think supporting this out of the box would be more in line with how the bash git client clones git repositories.

How to reproduce

1. Run the following code in python.

import pygit2
repo_url = "https://bitbucket.org/theconstructcore/spawn_robot_tools.git"
pygit2.clone_repository(repo_url, ".", bare=True)

2. See the not empty folder error.

Example work-around

import pygit2
repo_url = "https://bitbucket.org/theconstructcore/spawn_robot_tools.git"
pygit2.clone_repository(repo_url, "./"+repo_url.split("/")[-1].replace(".git", ""), bare=True)

Beginne damit, die Python-Reproduktion für pygit2.clone_repository mit "." und bare=True auszuführen. Untersuche pygit2/init.py im Bereich der Definition von clone_repository in Zeile 165; die Änderung ist abgeschlossen, wenn das Klonen in den demonstrierten nicht leeren Ordner ohne den Workaround funktioniert und dabei das bestehende Verhalten erhalten bleibt.
