Description

When vlt co is ran inside a vlt checkout but not inside the jcr_root directory, the action fails with a NPE. To reproduce, I've executed the following against a Sling launchpad instance twice , without having any filters defined:

vlt --credentials admin:admin co --force http://localhost:8080/server/-/jcr:root/ .

The first checkout correctly creates jcr_root and META-INF directories. However, when I executed the command the second time, it deletes the jcr_root directory and checks out the directories inside the base checkout dir and fails at the end with

[ERROR] checkout: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

I'll attach a simple patch which indicates better what the problem can be.
