Bug in path, or incorrect README

[eduncan911]

The README has this bit about the path attribute:

# Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to place the repository
    path: ''

When I set this path to the following:

- name: checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v1
  with:
    fetch-depth: 1
    path: go/src/github.com/${{ github.repository }}

It creates a dir structure here:

$ pwd
/home/runner/work/podcast/go/src/github.com/eduncan911/podcast

That's all expected, fine and dandy. Or so I thought because now I need to access this location, and I cannot using the ENV vars.

$GITHUB_WORKSPACE points to:

/home/runner/work/podcast/podcast

Notice the duplicate podcast/podcast. It is not /home/runner/work/podcast/, which is what was downloaded to during the checkout with the path override.

Also, if I print out the entire env, there's not a single location I can reference for /home/runner/work/podcast/ - which doesn't allow me to cd back into and work in.

So at a minimal, this is a problem with the README/docs, in that path is not set to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE but instead a custom path of /home/runner/work/ that cannot be accessed with ENV vars and has to be hardcoded for other actions to use.

Or at the worse, and possibly breaking change, path should honor the $GITHUB_WORKSPACE location as stated in the README.

- uses: actions/checkout@v2 you are using v1 :)

Confirmed @v2 resolved it. WORKSPACE remained the same, and now it downloads correctly to:

$ pwd
/home/runner/work/podcast/podcast/go/src/github.com/eduncan911/podcast

Thanks!
