When using Renovate it can sometimes be required to run a specific manager only on a sub-set of the matching files.
Naively you might expect this to be achieved by overwriting the fileMatch property of the manager.
However this is not possible, as this property gets merged together,
effectively meaning we can only append to it, not replace it.
What I found working is an approach using either includePaths or ignorePaths, depending on the situation.
