Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or an issue I'm having

I was attempting to use stow --dotfiles to install my dotfiles. 
My directory structure is like so

.dotfiles
├── home
│   ├── dot-config
│   │   ├── Code - OSS
│   │   ├── compton
│   │   ├── dunst
│   ├── dot-local
│   │   ├── bin
│   │   └── share
│   ├── dot-mozilla
│   │   └── firefox
│   └── dot-ssh
│       └── config
│   ├── dot-vimrc
│   ├── dot-zprofile
│   ├── dot-zsh_aliases
│   ├── dot-zshenv
│   ├── dot-zshrc


I cd .dotfiles then do stow --dotfiles home, and I get the error stow: ERROR: stow_contents() called with non-directory path: .dotfiles/home/.config

However, if I make this my folder structure:

.dotfiles
├── home
│   ├── .config
│   │   ├── Code - OSS
│   │   ├── compton
│   │   ├── dunst
│   ├── .local
│   │   ├── bin
│   │   └── share
│   ├── .mozilla
│   │   └── firefox
│   └── .ssh
│       └── config
│   ├── dot-vimrc
│   ├── dot-zprofile
│   ├── dot-zsh_aliases
│   ├── dot-zshenv
│   ├── dot-zshrc

And then do stow --dotfiles home, I don't have any issues, and everything gets put in place.  Though, that's not ideal as the whole idea is to make the files visible in my dotfiles directory.

Best regards,
Oliver Duce
