<br>
This breaks all patches written against upstream .cabal files.<br>
<br>
For example, if I write a patch against `cachix-0.2.0` git repo's .cabal file, I can no longer apply it to whatever revisions of it Hackage has, even if there's no real conflict.<br>
<br>
Here's a reproduction (I changed only 1 line in the editor, and it shows the whole file as changed):<br>
<br>
diff -u <(curl <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/AesonBson-0.2.0/revision/0.cabal" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/AesonBson-0.2.0/revision/0.cabal</a>) <(curl <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/AesonBson-0.2.0/revision/1.cabal" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/AesonBson-0.2.0/revision/1.cabal</a>)<br>
<br>
I found this especially problematic for nixpkgs, where patching packages is a common practice.<br>
