fix: prevent path traversal attacks (#631)

This commit fixes a path traversal vulnerability in the repository
management code. The `SanitizeRepo` function now correctly returns a
sanitized version of the given repository name. It uses an absolute
path along with `path.Clean` to ensure that the path is cleaned
before being used.
