Description
Adding the same sources to multiple targets can cause an empty group to show in Xcode when you use different statements, like:
target1:
...
sources:
- path: path/to/folder
and
target2:
...
sources:
- path: path/to/folder/
Xcode: Version 12.4 (12D4e)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with two targets whose source paths differ only by a trailing slash, using the YAML examples in the report. Trace how XcodeGen handles these source paths before generating the Xcode project. Done means the generated project no longer shows an empty duplicate group in Xcode.
