I've made it so now get doesn't try to generate new names if you specify a
repository name explicitely, since it really doesn't make sense.  Instead,
it terminates with an error if a file or directory with that name already
exists.  Really the searching for a new name only makes sense when you
didn't ask for a particular name.
