adopting dot-files does not work as expected |

Hello dear stow developers/community,
In my example I prepared a git repo at `~/projects/dotfiles`.
There I `touch`ed `~/projects/dotfiles/git/dot-gitconfig`.
My assumption was, that I could now use `--adopt` to transfer the
content of the `~/.gitconfig` file into
`~/projects/dotfiles/git/dot-gitconfig`. Unfortunately, `--adopt` does
not respect the `--dotfiles` argument, moving the `.gitconfig` right
beside `dot-gitconfig` but creating a link that leads to the still empty
`dot-gitconig`.
Here is a little out put for more context:
```
$ pwd
~/projects/dotfiles
$ tree -a git
git
└── dot-gitconfig
$ stow --adopt --dotfiles -v -n -t ~ git
MV: .gitconfig -> projects/dotfiles/git/.gitconfig
LINK: .gitconfig => projects/dotfiles/git/dot-gitconfig
WARNING: in simulation mode so not modifying filesystem.
$ tree -a git
git
├── dot-gitconfig
└── .gitconfig
$ ls -la ~/.gitconfig
lrwxrwxrwx 1 muro muro 35 Aug 7 20:57 ~/.gitconfig ->
projects/dotfiles/git/dot-gitconfig
```
Best Regards
Karl
