renovate: Treat git-ref Cargo dependency bumps like major version bumps - #236
Merged

Conversation
Cargo dependencies pinned via `git = "...", rev = "<sha>"` (e.g. bootc-mount in bcvk) have no semver, so Renovate always classifies an upstream change as a "digest" update rather than major/minor/patch. Without this rule those bumps get silently folded into the weekly grouped "Rust" PR, even though a git-ref bump can carry arbitrary breaking changes just like a major version bump does. Clear the groupName for these updates so each dependency gets its own individual PR, same as a major version bump getting pulled out of the routine grouped update. Verified via dry-run against the real renovate:42 image that two pending git-ref updates land in separate branches, not a single shared PR.
