ancesdir's Issues

Add todo and contributing for this project

Hello,

Thanks for this project.
I think is interesting for possible new contributors, to add todo with possible features and contribution (for, branch name, workflow). It's possible please?

`ancesdir` doesn't find marker if it's the directory passed to `ancesdir()`

Calling ancesdir(__dirname, ".marker") fails if the .marker file is in __dirname and not an ancestor directory.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create marker file '.marker'
2. Import 'ancedir'
3. Call ancesdir(__dirname, ".marker") from a .js file in the same directory as .marker.

Expected behavior
It should return __dirname

Actual behavior
There's an error message about it not being able to find the "marker" file.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS
• Node Version: 16.14.1
• ancesdir Version 4.0.0

Additional info
I tried use ancesdir(__dirname) to see if it could find the package.json file that was in services/static/ in webapp, but it ended up returning the root path as well.
