Copy-webpack-plugin: Constant recompile when copying a file from the root of directory.

[ThrowsException]

I updated to 4.5.3 and when I run my webpack dev server it just keeps recompiling. Installing 4.5.2 makes the issue go away. What info can I provide to help track down the issue?

I think I'm running into the issue described here https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin/pull/296

Can confirm. Im running into the issue described with #296. I have a file in the root of my directory that I copy to a dist folder which then puts my entire project under watch and constantly recompiles.

I'm having the same issue when upgrading to 4.5.3
It most likely comes from the commit 5fa69db, the modification in src/processPattern.js line 33 to 38.

I also confirm what @ThrowsException found.
When I stop trying to copy files from the root of my directory (still copying others from other sources) it works as expected.
