For bootstrapping initially run stow twice: Once in dryrun mode to capture all directories that would be created. Use this to actually create all directories (mkdir -p). Only afterwards run stow and actually execute. Now, files are linked as leaf files with folder created as necessary, instead of linking whole folders wich sometimes interferes with the repo when additional (cache, config, coloring) files get dropped into the directories over time.

Since 5e53105 we use dotter for bootstrap management, which automatically only links leaf nodes.
