Description

When I run rstan_package_skeleton(path=_somePath_/MLVillageTSA), it does not matter what I choose for _somePath_, it always tells me "New project 'MLVillageTSA' is nested inside an existing project".

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through rstan_package_skeleton(path=...) with a new directory, then trace how it decides that a directory is an existing project. Done means a genuinely new project directory is not reported as nested inside an existing project, while actual nested projects still are.
