Publishing to a relative output folder omits entries from publishOptions

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

I have created a fresh “ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)”, navigated to the folder in a console and ran

dotnet publish -o ..\..\..\..\..\..\tmp\publish -c Release or
dotnet publish -o C:\Users\[...]\tmp\publish -c Release

Expected behavior

Both commands should produce identical results

Actual behavior

The first command doesn’t copy the wwwroot and Views folders in the output folder

I had the same issue. If I use dotnet publish -c release --output ".\publish" - not work. If I use dotnet publish -c release --output publish - work.

Find it slightly disturbing that such a fundamental bug has existed for so long, across multiple releases, and has no comment from any team members.
