Reverts #41.

Why

#41 guessed that Dependabot's npm update failed because .github became a branch path component. That guess was wrong. The next run with separator: "-" failed the same way:

create_pull_request → 400 "The request contains invalid or unauthorized changes"

The npm install and the lockfile update work. Dependabot's service rejects the pull request itself. The separator doesn't help, and its comment gives a wrong reason, so it goes. The open question is tracked in an issue of its own.

How to test

.github/dependabot.yml is the same as after #40.
