Validate that the target path is suitable for cloning. Checks that: 1. The path doesn't already exist as a directory 2. The path doesn't already exist as a file 3. The parent directory exists (or can be created) # Arguments `path` - The target path to validate # Returns `Ok(())` if the path is valid, `Err` with appropriate error otherwise. # Errors - `CliError::RepositoryExists` if a direct
