Problem

In the docs when explaining the --ignore flag some caveats about using it were highlighted:

changesets/docs/command-line-options.md

Lines 85 to 88 in f0270f6

	This command is used to allow you to skip packages from being published. This allows you to run partial publishes of the repository. Using ignore has some safety rails:
	1. If the package is mentioned in a changeset that also includes a package that is not ignored, publishing will fail.
	2. If the package requires one of its dependencies to be updated as part of a publish.

But, on the second point, the consequences of such a case are not explained.

By manual test on my side I could verify that when that happens only the not ignored dependency versions on the package.json file of the ignored package is being updated, the ignored package version remains the same. But I would like to confirm this, to avoid edge cases if there are others.

Proposed solution
