This is patching symptoms.

If you need some hosting/deployment tool to support the way you structure your code repos, there is a bigger problem.

Your own tooling for your repo should decide what gets triggered. It's not even as simple as this article makes it out to be. If I edit a readme.md, should this redeploy because it's in the same directory?

Of course not. Structure your code how you want. Then make good tools to trigger other tools. don't restrict yourself to every downstream job type and tool integrating vertically with your specific structures.
