template.xml not recognizing absolute paths when phpDoc installed globally?

[lamoni]

Hello all,

I'm trying to set template.xml to use an absolute path but it doesn't seem to be working. It seems to just append the absolute path to an already existing path (which in my scenario, is my /home/.composer/vendor/phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor directory).

Excerpt from output (using --template="/var/www/config/phpDocumentor/template.clean/"):

  [phpDocumentor\Transformer\Exception]                                                                                                                                                                               
  Unable to read the source file: /home/lamoni/.composer/vendor/phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor/src/phpDocumentor/Transformer/../../../../templates/abstract//var/www/config/phpDocumentor/template.clean/htaccess.dist  

And my template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<template>
  <author>Mike van Riel</author>
  <email>mike@phpdoc.org</email>
  <version>1.0.0</version>

      To improve performance you can add the following to your .htaccess:

      <ifModule mod_deflate.c>
          <filesMatch "\.(js|css|html)$">
              SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
          </filesMatch>
      </ifModule>
  ]]></description>

</template>

Is there a correct way to override that prepended path? Or is it convention that we put the templates in that folder, or is this an actual bug?
