 We're installing our Pantheon D8 sites in /web to **provoke** merge conflicts and thus prevent us from appliying Pantheon's one click updates from the dashboard. We're using composer to manage our D8 sites, which is incompatible with the one-click updates. (So this isn't a bug, it's a feature!) Happily, we're pretty sure that Pantheon have moved all their magical secret sauce into modules and the settings file. In theory, none of it is in core anymore. 

 Instead:
 1.   Pull a copy of the site onto your local
 2.   Navigate to the /web directory of your site
 3.   Use `composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies` to update using composer
  -  Unfortunately, Composer sometimes installs nested .git directories, which make Pantheon very unhappy. So after you've updated, you need to find and remove any nested .git directories:

 4.   Run `find . -name .git -type d -prune` to get a list of any new .git directories hiding in the bowels of your install. You might see something like: `/web/vendor/afdafaf/adsfasdfdas/.git`
 5.   Remove them eg. `rm -r /web/vendor/afdafaf/adsfasdfdas/.git`
 6.   Then add and commit all changes and push them back up to Pantheon
 7.   Make sure to update the database and clear caches on Pantheon!
