flag --dotfiles work for directories but not for directories and files

I'm on ArchLinux stow (GNU Stow) version 2.4.1

I've been using stow for a few years actually and today I decided to try out the --dotfiles flag so I won't have a much of hidden directories/files on my dotfiles repository.

So I created a test folder in the following as I've always done but I have replaced .config with dot-config and .testrc with dot-testrc.

test
└── dot-config
    └── test
        └── dot-testrc

But when I run stow -vt ~ test --dotfiles it creates the following structure:

test
└── .config
    └── test
        └── dot-testrc

Shouldn't it also rename dot-testrc to .testrc?
