mise install-into clobbers everything at target when using .

[andrewthauer]

I was testing out mise install-into and then got an error and a big surprise which is very concerning. Mise clobbered a bunch of my existing files when using install-into.

I ran ...

mise install-into node@latest .

Then got the following error:

mise WARN  failed to remove .: failed rm -rf: .
mise ERROR failed rm -rf: .
mise ERROR Invalid argument (os error 22)
mise ERROR Run with --verbose or MISE_VERBOSE=1 for more information

Now all files and directories at and children of . are completely lost. Luckily this was an experimental directory, otherwise this would have been a really bad day for me.

Seems like a problem when you use . versus ./path.
