files in subdirectories

[stockf]

This is somewhere in between a bug and a feature request.

Describe the bug

It's not possible to have the files to copy over in a subdirectory but copy it to a different directory.

How to Reproduce

• Create a subdirectory workflows-a with a file action.yml
• Try Reference it in the action with

  patterns_to_include: 'workflows-a/action.yml'
  destination: '.github/workflows'

  Or

  patterns_to_include: 'workflows-a/*'
  destination: '.github/workflows'

• The action will copy the output to .github/workflows/workflows-a/action.yml (example 1) or do nothing (example 2)

Expected behavior

I would expect that it is possible to group my actions in a subdirectory and have them copied to a different directory. E.g. when I have two different dependabot.yml configurations for projects of type A and B. The filename is also preserved, so currently it is impossible to service this use case.

Hey, I described in docs that patterns_to_include works based on include function, so you can just provide folder name like patterns_to_include: 'workflows-a'

but yeah .github/workflows/workflows-a/action.yml is definitely a bug, thanks!
