When cloning an action or a workflow with git, the target directory might not be empty, for example, due to a failed cloning attempt. Because the target directory's name is derived from the repository's URL that is about to be cloned, it would be an unrecoverable situation and would require human intervention to resolve it. To reduce the likelihood of such a situation, Forgejo Runner will try to delete the directory before cloning the repository containing the action or workflow.

Makes sense to me, and the early-exit in cloneIfRequired if the repo is already in-place prevents this from being an always-clone situation. 👍
