Describe the bug

I’m trying to deploy the repo root but it fails:

Switched to a new branch 'gh-pages'
  [INFO] prepare publishing assets
  [INFO] delete .git
  [INFO] copy /home/runner/work/chip8/chip8/ to /home/runner/actions_github_pages_1602884889152
  [INFO] delete excluded assets
  [INFO] delete /home/runner/actions_github_pages_1602884889152/.github
  Error: Action failed with "ENOENT: no such file or directory, realpath '/home/runner/actions_github_pages_1602884889152/.github/workflows'"

Unfortunately that gives the same error: https://github.com/netwerk-digitaal-erfgoed/requirements-template/runs/1279644649?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:53

To be clear: the workflow ‘succeeds’ (is green), but because of the above error the GitHub Pages output is not updated.

I’m guessing this has to do with publish_dir: ./, because the root dir contains the .git dir while subdirs (public/ for instance) wouldn’t.

It also breaks when force_orphan is not set to true (and publish_dir: ./): https://github.com/netwerk-digitaal-erfgoed/requirements-template/runs/1279392636?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:21, with:
