Use dat.json `name` for folder name on clone

See original GitHub issue

From @karissa on January 10, 2017 19:55

When doing dat clone right now it creates a folder with the hash as a name. It’d be nice if instead, we fetch the dat.json file and if it exists, use the name or title key as the folder name.

@joehand you didn’t think this through 6 days ago before you commented.

You can create the directory using the key and once the clone is finished, rename it to whatever is in the dat.json name or title.

+1 on postponing. I’ll be much easier with append-tree and not worth implementing twice.
