Changes to the .babelrc file do not invalidate the cache

[thasmo]

I'm submitting a bug report.

Current Behavior
When using cacheDirectory: true the cache does not get invalidated between changes to .babelrc contents. Disabling the cache works as expected and changes to .babelrc are reflected in the generated bundle.

Expected Behavior
When using cacheDirectory: true the cache should be invalidated between changes to the .babelrc file as mentioned in the docs.

Did this work with beta.0? Do you know?

@danez, I think it didn't work either, hence I opened babel/babel#7427 when I was using beta.0.

I keep it open for now, because the only bug i found was one I introduced in beta.1.

[danez]

I released beta.2 which should fix the problem that was introduced in beta.1 If it still does not work, we need to investigate more.

This seems to work now, using beta.2. 👍
