only_commits.files not honored

It feels like the appveyor.yaml only_commit.files rule doesn't always run.

We use a monorepo with tons of different projects. But the only_commit rule doesn't seem to be always honored. For instance this build was triggered when absolutely no files under {root}/backend/dashboard/ was changed.

See what files were changed by this commit here

What can we do to fix this? This causes our CI to get clogged with builds of the wrong projects and it's super annoying.

   Can you link to a specific build that this occured on?

   Yes I can, this one for instance: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Cyprex/ueat-6s2du/builds/23255703.

   It looks like the AppVeyor build failed to read the appveyor.yaml file, even if it's definitely there.

   Here is another example: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Cyprex/ueat-59s6o/builds/23255210.

   This time we don't have the appveyor.yaml not found error, it's the Specify which project or solution file to use because the folder contains more than one project or solution file. variant.

   Can you please open https://ci.appveyor.com/account/Cyprex/authorizations, and check Bitbucket authorization? Revoke and authorize Bitbucket again if needed (this will not break any settings).
