## Describe the bug
I have my dotfiles stored in `~/myname/Documents/Development/dotfiles` as modules, e.g. `~/Documents/Development/dotfiles/scripts`.
The `scripts` folder contains `scripts/.config/scripts/test.sh`. If I executed `stow -d ~/Documents/Development/dotfiles -t ~/ scripts`, then I end up with:
```
lrwxrwxrwx  1 myname myname   38 16. Jul 17:56 ~/scripts -> ~/Documents/Development/dotfiles/scripts/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 myname myname   57 16. Jul 17:56 ~/.config/scripts -> ~/Documents/Development/dotfiles/scripts/.config/scripts/
```

## Expected behavior
No symlink of the entire scripts folder to my main directory:
```
lrwxrwxrwx  1 myname myname   57 16. Jul 17:56 ~/.config/scripts -> ~/Documents/Development/dotfiles/scripts/.config/scripts/
```
