Description

With the following I get a folder called folder under another/source/folder. It's the right place in the hierarchy, but not the right name, it seems to ignore the name property.

     - path: source/folder
        name: ReplacementName
        group: another/source/folder
        createIntermediateGroups: false

If I take out the group property then I get a folder called "ReplacementName" at the root of the project (which is what you'd expect with no group specified).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the YAML source definition shown in the report, then trace how source paths, names, and groups are handled during project generation. Done means a source with both name and group uses the replacement name inside the specified group, while behavior without group remains unchanged.
