unstow behaves is differently than stow -D

[menghuu]

stow --target target source (target dir is empty)then stow -D --target target source SAME as dploy stow source target then dploy unstow source target

BUT stow --target target source then make a dir in dest (target dir is not empty, has a folder which name same as a folder in source) then stow -D --target target source NOT SAME as dploy stow source target then make a dir in dest (target dir is not empty, has a folder which name same as a folder in source) then dploy unstow source target

Actually, this doesn't have a big impact, but you should know that they are still different
