Dependabot-core: Ignore updates when there is no modification

[Spomky]

Hi,

I manage several projects using a very nice tool that splits the main repository to sub repositories as explained in this talk.

When a commit is pushed or a tag is set on a branch, the sub repositories are updated.
Tags are always set even if there is no modification on the sub-repository. This way the sub-package versions are identical to the main package one.

The problem is that dependabot will do its job and create a PR even if there is no commit 1etween the versions.

The question is: How could we ignore version updates when there is no commit?

@feelepxyz Is it possible to configure Dependabot this way?

I talked to @feelepxyz just now, and this is not currently possible in Dependabot. We will keep this issue open as something to consider for a future enhancement.

Closing this due to age and low demand. If this scenario is critical to your workflow please feel free to comment.

Hi @infin8x,

Not critical, but annoying.
