Error when running with output directory = gitstats source

[raoulbhatia]

Started with outputpath = local git checkout.

cd Downloads/gitstats-master && ./gitstats /Users/X/git/myrepo .

Error observed:

shutil.Error: `/Users/XYZ/Downloads/gitstats-master/gitstats.css` and `/Users/XYZ/Downloads/gitstats-master/gitstats.css` are the same file

Perhaps it would help to either check on startup (a) if the local directory is the "source" directory, and/or (b) if the resources that gitstats will to deploy already exist? On big Git repositories, this would save the user from re-starting the whole process.
