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.
