Magithub-clone failing "does not exist or is not writable"

[ar1a]

I run M-x magithub-clone RET ar1a/onion RET and it pops up helm asking if i want to clone into ~/projects/Onion (that's important -- pay attention to that). I click yes, and get the error /home/aria/projects/Onion/ does not exist or is not writable.

I traced it down to https://github.com/vermiculus/magithub/blob/master/magithub.el#L251 , and if i eval manually, this is the case

(file-writable-p "~/projects/Onion/") => nil (file-writable-p "~/projects/Onion") => t

Hope this helps!
