Allow to set root directory for ExcludeAssembliesWithoutSources heuristic or other way to exclude internal nuget dependencies on shared CI nodes. about coverlet

That does not seem to properly exclude the files. I was not including those projects in the first place, they live somewhere on the accesible filesystem tree near the root, far from the actual source and working directory. It just so happens that Nuget packages that are installed have those exact paths in their metadata and so coverlet goes and tries to find them, making the heuristics for exclusion fail. Include directory does not seem to work as a negative (exclude everything outside of these directories) when it is specified.

Microsoft introduced simplified output paths with .NET 8.0. coverlet uses this feature already.
This feature might be helpful for your scenario and I think using $(Build.SourcesDirectory) is not an appropriate solution.

Typically the project binaries are separated and coverlet will uses the DLLs within the output folder. Did you customized the build output folder by yourself?
