Adding an extra .rcinfo property irrelevant_dependencies_paths that defines custom files that shouldn't be considered as target dependencies in meta (and thus fingerprint generation).
Finding a precise list of dependencies is crucial to obtain reliability with XCRemoteCache. In some cases, clang or swift compilers could include some excessive files (e.g. modulemap), even these files are not relevant to the compilation product. If an owner of the project knows with certainty that a given file(s) shouldn't be considered as a dependency, irrelevant_dependencies_paths could be helpful to get rid of these "virtual" dependencies.
Note! As written in the docs - adding entries to irrelevant_dependencies_paths should be rare and an extensive consideration of potential repercussions/limitations should always be carried out.
