--allow-read=. doesn't appear to work for Deno emit

[irbull]

I'm trying to use Deno Emit on a file in the current working directory:

// example.ts
import { emit } from "https://deno.land/x/emit@0.0.1/mod.ts";

const url = new URL("./example.ts", import.meta.url);
const result = await emit(url.href);

console.log(result);

If I start this with --allow-read=. it complains that I need full system --allow-read. We should be able to use emit on a file in the current working directory without requiring full system read access.

I used Deno 🦖 1.22.0

This is because emit attempts to read files from your DENO_DIR cache directory and needs read permissions for that.

We should potentially consider a flag to indicate if the cache should be used or if remote modules should be fetched afresh every time.

Thanks @kitsonk. However, if I set my DENO_DIR to something below my current working directory (or even export DENO_DIR=$PWD) it still complains that I need --allow-read.
