Using variables in sources section results in invalid "is up to date"

Description

I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not, but couldn't find another issue on this so I wanted to at least raise the question.

Variables are seemingly ignored in the sources section, resulting in a bad checksum. To recreate, use the example Taskfile below and run the following commands:

task example
task example DIR=other_dir

Oh, and this project is awesome! Thanks for all the hard work!

Example Taskfile

version: "3"

example:
        vars:
            DIR: "packages"
        cmds:
            - echo "Ran"
        sources:
            - "{{.DIR}}"

Hello !
There are multiple issue in our example. First of all, you cannot override a variable like this. You need to use the default function like this

vars:
  DIR: '{{default "packages" .DIR}}'

In our example, DIR is always 'packages'

The second thing is, we use https://github.com/mattn/go-zglob to match all files that match the patterm. I assume packages is a directory so you need to add a wildcard like :

vars:
  DIR: 'packages/*'

The final taskfile could be something like :

version: "3"
tasks:
  example:
     vars:
       DIR: '{{default "packages" .DIR}}/*'
     cmds:
       - echo "Ran {{.DIR}}"
     sources:
            - "{{.DIR}}"

PS: please, be careful when providing Taskfile, your example is not correct, I cannot copy / past it because tasks as a key is missing

Sorry about that. Appreciate the clarification!
