How can I ignore a specific transitive dependency in Gradle?

For example, many libraries (such as Spring and ...) depend on commons-logging, I want to replace commons-logging with SLF4J (and its jcl-over-slf4j bridge).

Is it any way in my gradle script to mention it once, and not for each dependency which depends on commons-logging?

I was thinking of an script, iterating on all dependencies and adding some exclude on all of them, is there any better solution? And how that script be like?
