It might be better to say that you can clone the project, including ex. issues, as a single thing, rather than just the "repo" of code

With GitHub, you are only cloning part of the repository -- you are missing the Wiki (which is a separate repository), Issues, Milestones, Release Artifacts, etc

The repository is just the code. All the other stuff is part of the project, not the repository.

You're right. Just getting the terminology wrong.

In Fossil it's all just part of the repository :-)
