No way to disable auto-merge

[sacharya-sp]

Looks like the mergify configuration comes with an auto-merge rule by default, and there's no way to disable it. The option mergifyOptions has the ability to add additional auto-merge rules, but no way to remove the default rule.

I'm looking specifically at the AwsCdkTypeScriptApp project, but I'm seeing that this issue applies to other projects as well.

Hey @sacharya-sp - I did some digging and it looks like this rule is automatically added by a component named AutoMerge, but projen's API is missing a way to easily disable this.

Right now, the closest workaround is to specify mergify: false and then creating new Mergify(project, { ...options }) in your projenrc file.

We can easily add an option like autoMerge: false which will disable the creation of these default rules. Would that solve your issue more cleanly?

Thanks Chris, this workaround works for me. It's a bit hard to find - it may not be apparent for other Projen users that the Mergify settings can be overridden by instantiating Mergify (rather than modifying the Project). An autoMerge option would certainly be easier to use for those who want to use Mergify without the default auto-merge rule.
