Description

Actually Paket clones a package repository on every new paket add that's because Paket doesn't preserve clone directories after a remove. It would be great if we can just avoid re-clone a package repo for a same version already cloned.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the clone logic in Paket's source code, likely in the command handler for 'paket add', and modify it to check if a clone directory already exists for the requested version before cloning again. Implement a caching mechanism that preserves clone directories across sessions.
