Apparently you can build filestore with parsec-3 if you want.
Data/FileStore/Git.hs doesn't seem to use any of the functionality
that changed between 2 & 3. I swapped the dep:

 hunk ./filestore.cabal 35
 -                         parsec >= 2 && < 3, process, time,
datetime, regex-posix, xml, split, Diff
 +                         parsec >= 3, process, time, datetime,
regex-posix, xml, split, Diff

Configured, noticing what parsec was being used:

 Dependency parsec >=3: using parsec-3.0.0

Built & installed successfully.
