Brief explanation of problem

When current_path variable is changed, symlink is still created as deploy_helper.current_path/current

Reproducing of problem

When ran this playbook using ansible

---
- hosts: testing

  vars:
  - working_directory: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/test_script"

  tasks:
  - name: Initialize the deploy root and gather facts
    deploy_helper: path="{{ working_directory }}"
                   releases_path="{{ working_directory }}/releases"
                   shared_path="{{ working_directory }}/shared"
                   current_path="{{working_directory}}/here"

  - name: Create new release folder
    file: path={{ deploy_helper.new_release_path }} state=directory 

  - name: Add an unfinished file, to allow cleanup on successful finalize
    file: path={{ deploy_helper.new_release_path }}/{{ deploy_helper.unfinished_filename }} state=touch

  - name: Creating some files 
    file: path={{deploy_helper.new_release_path}}/Some_random_empty_file.txt state=touch

  - name: Finalize the deploy, removing the unfinished file and switching the symlink
    deploy_helper: path="{{ working_directory }}" release="{{ deploy_helper.new_release }}" state=finalize keep_releases=1 clean=True

  - debug: msg="Current path {{deploy_helper.current_path}} \nNew release path {{deploy_helper.new_release_path}}"

Expected output

Output of ansible:

...
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [defconf.com] => {
    "msg": "Current path /home/defconf/test_script/here \nNew release path /home/defconf/test_script/releases/20160629185605"
}
...

Output of ls command

# ls $HOME/test_script/
here@  releases/  shared/

Real output

Output of ansible:

...
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [defconf.com] => {
    "msg": "Current path /home/defconf/test_script/here \nNew release path /home/defconf/test_script/releases/20160629185605"
}
...

Output of ls command

# ls $HOME/test_script/
current@  releases/  shared/

The problem explanation

The finalization seems to work well, the symlink is created, but changing current_path variable (output of debug task shows that variable was changed) seems not to change anything. Trying to create symlink in different directory does not work as well.
