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
