Bulk-clone a set of git repositories into a single root directory using the bundled clone-repos.sh script. Use this whenever the user wants to clone several repos at once, pull down all the repos for a project or engineering estate, lay multiple repositories out side-by-side under one folder, or set up a local working tree of many repos (e.g. as the first step before reading, documenting, or doing an architecture review across a codebase). Trigger on phrases like 'clone these repos', 'clone all the repos', 'bulk clone', 'clone a bunch of repositories into a folder', or when the user hands over a list of git URLs and a destination directory.
