Currently the path used to clone a repository must exist. We could create it on the fly.

As mentioned in bug 346136, the most common case will be "just create a new top level folder with the same name as the repository". Similar to the project creation wizard in Eclipse, where "default location" is the automatic choice if you do nothing, but if you really want to, you can pick a different location.

Fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.orion.server.git/commit/?id=8732c69e0fb36f17173ded3510ea6604b8f2c208.

The API now accepts:
* file path (/file/{id}[/{path})[1] which points exactly where to clone the repo. If a folder doesn't exist it will be created
* workspace id[2] with a name[3] to create a top-level project with that name and clone the repo into it
* workspace id[2] without a name to derive top-level project name from the repo
