snippet-bot: snippet-bot is not respecting ignoreFiles

[suztomo]

Not urgent because the snippet-bot check is not marked as required.

In googleapis/google-cloud-java#8844 (comment), I don't see Snippet Bot respects "ignoreFiles" field in its configuration file. https://github.com/googleapis/repo-automation-bots/tree/main/packages/snippet-bot#configuration

Configuration I created: googleapis/google-cloud-java@34fef7b

ignoreFiles:
- owl-bot-postprocessor/synthtool/gcp/snippets.py
- owl-bot-postprocessor/synthtool/gcp/templates/java_library/samples/install-without-bom/pom.xml

The bot is still complains after "snippet-bot: force-run" label.

Would you help troubleshooting?

Snippet bot continues to add comments about invalid tags googleapis/google-cloud-java#8850 (comment) in other pull requests.

The comment at: googleapis/google-cloud-java#8850 (comment) seems like it reads the new configuration file.

I think what happens here is the bot reads the configuration file from the base branch.

Most of our bots work that way with only one exception, I think.

I would treat this as a feature request for reading config files from PR head.
