Stow creates directories if they don't exist and new files we may not want to track get added to source control #12

Description

For instance, on a fresh system ~/.weechat may not exist. If we install weechat with stow then it will create ~/.weechat as a symlink. This will mean that every new file created in ~/.weechat will be added to source control including logs, etc. which we don't want.

The solution to this is to add the --no-folding flag it seems after a little testing. This creates the directory if it doesn't exist. See the man pages for more info. So the command would look like:

stow -S --no-folding *
