Modules are sometimes listed explicitly for some reason

When I run gen-hie in the root of https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/tree/5ba4d052bc6f74dff66654266e09eb192de97be1, I get:

As you can see, for some reason it's decided to list out every file in each executable 🤔

[Avi-D-coder]

This is intended behavior. Unfortunately, it's required to support other-modules?
Is HLS producing cradle errors on any of these files?

[mitchellwrosen]

Oh, I see, thanks.

It's not producing errors, I just don't want to have to regenerate hie.yaml whenever a module appears there :)

[jneira]

maybe you could try https://github.com/phadej/cabal-extras/tree/master/cabal-hie
it has to be installed from source though

[Avi-D-coder]

If the auto generated hie.yaml works without any modification, I would suggest deleting hie.yaml from the repo and adding it to .gitignore.
HLS use implicit-hie for you without writing the file to disk.
