### Versions.

os: linux x64
@angular/common: 4.1.3

```
### Repro steps.
From project root:
```
ng g component ./src/app/components/test
```
### The log given by the failure.
```
installing component
create src/app/src/app/components/test/test.component.scss
create src/app/src/app/components/test/test.component.html
create src/app/src/app/components/test/test.component.spec.ts
create src/app/src/app/components/test/test.component.ts
```
### Desired functionality.
Doesn't create src/app under the (already existing) src/app directory.
This is a minor change, but would then allow me to use autocomplete with the generator, even if the immediate fix is to just remove 'src/app' from the file location input before processing.
### Mention any other details that might be useful.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the project root with `ng g component ./src/app/components/test` and inspect how the Angular CLI generator resolves that relative path. Done means the generated files are placed under the existing `src/app` directory without creating a duplicated `src/app/src/app` path.
