Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to test out the --dotfiles option after reading about it in the stow
patch notes, so I renamed the top directory in my 'beets' package from
'.config' to 'dot-config'.
I ran the command 'stow -t ~ --dotfiles beets' under my user in the directory
in which the beets package is located (~/Documents/Configurations/).
The output was 'stow: ERROR: stow_contents() called with non-directory path:
Documents/Configurations/beets/.config'.
Note: the '~/.config' directory existed prior to this test.
The output with -v 5:

stow dir is /home/daniel/Documents/Configurations
stow dir path relative to target /home/daniel is Documents/Configurations
cwd now /home/daniel
cwd restored to /home/daniel/Documents/Configurations
cwd now /home/daniel

I checked the ~/.config/beets directory and found out it was a broken symlink
pointing to '~/Documents/Configurations/beets/.config/beets' instead of
'~/Documents/Configurations/beets/dot-config/beets'.
I decided to test if the --dotfiles options is broken in general or just for
this specific case so I renamed the 'dot-config' directory to 'dot-config-
test'.
Running the original command in this case was successful, creating a symlink
'~/.config-test' to '~/Documents/Configurations/beets/dot-config-test' as
expected.

I hope I provided all the required information, this is my first time reporting
a bug for a Debian package.
