How to configure it if I want dependabot to _only_ manage the root `Project.toml` and ignore the `docs/Project.toml` and `test/Project.toml`?  
I am getting tons of little PRs for docs/ and test/ and I don’t want to bother with compat for those subdirectories:  
[https://github.com/JuliaArrays/LazyGrids.jl/pulls](https://github.com/JuliaArrays/LazyGrids.jl/pulls)  
I asked copilot for help and it strongly suggested using `exclude-paths` which I tried but gave an dependabot error. And I tried to find documentation on the allowable syntax but all I could find was the general dependabot stuff, not the Julia-specific aspects.
