Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When cloning a repository to a folder, the folder picker screen does not offer a way to create a new folder to clone to.
Once I created a folder with the name of my repository manually and selected it, the app created a second folder inside it with the same name.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'm unsure if this is something implemented by the system or the app, but a way to create a new folder in the folder picker would be really useful. Moreover, some clarification regarding where the repository's files would be stored (perhaps as a caption under the input fields) would help a lot before cloning it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, this could be left as is, with the assumption that the user would know how Git IDEs behave on other platforms? I'm not too sure about it, but yeah.

Additional context
Github Desktop tends to handle this by appending the repository name to the local path as shown below. The suffixing made the folder creation issue clearer but not fully evident to me, so it did take me some time to get used to this behaviour.
