Hi,
When using --adopt and --dotfiles together, files are not adopted correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
touch .dotfiles-test
mkdir test
cd test
mkdir test
touch test/dot-dotfiles-test
stow -n --adopt --dotfiles -v test
This results in the following print:
MV: .dotfiles-test -> test/test/.dotfiles-test
LINK: .dotfiles-test => test/test/dot-dotfiles-test
WARNING: in simulation mode so not modifying filesystem.
The file is moved to .dotfiles-test and the link is to
dot-dotfiles-test. These are two different files, and the result is
that the original file is no longer used.
Best Regards,
Barabas
