Description

I have a dist/ directory containing files in dist/css/. If I run the command:

cross-zip dist dist/foobar.zip

The resulting file is empty. It only works if I place the resulting zip file somewhere else, e.g.

cross-zip dist target/foobar.zip

Research direction

Start by reproducing cross-zip dist dist/foobar.zip and compare it with cross-zip dist target/foobar.zip. Trace the CLI's handling of the output path when it is inside the source directory; done means the resulting archive contains the files from dist/css/ in both cases.
