⚠️ Running this will frequently delete the parent directory ⚠️ #28

If you run this executable occasionally it will decide to delete the current working directory as well as the target.

I'm almost positive it was happening when running safe-rm CHILD_DIRECTORY -rf or safe-rm ./CHILD_DIRECTORY -rf, but I often would only find out ~10 minutes later that it happened when doing development that the directory I was in was no longer available. Or maybe it was putting the -rf first that caused the problem. One of these was the issue.
