composer: commit Symfony's regenerated config/reference.php when scripts are allowed

[tuxes3]

Tell us more.

Hello everyone.

Since Symfony 7.4 there is the config/reference.php. Renovate does not update that file, even with scripts enabled it only every updates composer.lock and vendor.

We can workaround that with a postUpgradeTask.

Symfony recommends to commit it: symfony/symfony#62588 . Therefore renovate should be able to handle that.

Proposal: when composer scripts are enabled, also allow edits in config/reference.php, same as composer.json, if it was modified.

Let me know if you would be interested in this feature, I would be more than happy to implement it in a feature branch.

Thanks for the offer. The composer artifact update only commits composer.lock and the vendor directory, and we do not want to add framework-specific files to it, because every framework would then need its own exception.

Still let's wait for a maintainer's reply. I will label this discussion for them to notice.
