Additional filter functionality: support NEWS.md in a subdirectory (monorepo)
One case that I have is that I use a package internal to all projects/apps/etc, such that it is not the only thing being worked on within the git history tree. As such, similar to CI tags, it would be awesome if there was an option to tune what commits fledge actually scrapes for the news.
Perhaps something along the lines of keep_if_matches and ignore_if_matches as super general arguments that could be given a regular expression to test on the commit message, or even a less general [fledge-keep] or [fledge-ignore] tags
This is currently a limitation of fledge that it assumes that the repo contains just one package. We could also consider a subdir argument, would that work for your use case? Or perhaps some logic that looks for NEWS.md files in the subdirectories and populates them with the corresponding log entries?
yeah package does live in its own subdir, I'd be fine with setting that and letting fledge only scrape commits where files were changed in that subdir + hunting for the news.md there.
This is a use case for a config setting where these filters can be defined. Let's revisit if/when we have config options here.
