revel build command is generates unnecessary files

[teitei-tk]

I have created one simple Revel Application.

When I run the build command, it generates an unnecessary directory called target in application-path and a binary file in it. I read the code and could not figure out why.

Here are the steps to reproduce it.

https://github.com/teitei-tk/revel-cmd-example

$ git clone git@github.com:teitei-tk/revel-cmd-example.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/teitei-tk/revel-cmd-example
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/teitei-tk/revel-cmd-example
$ revel build -a github.com/teitei-tk/revel-cmd-example/example/app -t /tmp/app
Revel executing: build a Revel application (e.g. for deployment)
Parsing packages, (may require download if not cached)... Completed
Your application has been built in: /tmp/app

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        example/app/target/

$ tree example/app/target
example/app/target
└── app
    └── github.com
        └── teitei-tk
            └── revel-cmd-example
                └── example
                    └── app
                        └── app

I was wondering as well why this folder is needed. And i am not getting much smarter reading the corresponding commits. First implementation seems to be here revel/cmd@f2b54f5#diff-20ea5d5c31c95ca96157da752b18a29a

Hmmm...

@notzippy This issue seems to have started with the code you committed. Do you know anything about this issue?
