It's for the [haskell-happstack] repository, I need to update the dependencies on [haskell-core] packages, Diff is just one example. As I understand the new format introduced after the versioning change does not support x-revisions for distro pkgs yet. Or am I not using it correctly?

Unfortunately old x-revisions aren't available in the Hackage index
file, so I can't really see the value of adding with an explicit
x-revision. That's probably just my limited imagination though ;) Is
it just that you want to be able to pass the output of `cblrepo list`
back into `cblrepo add`, or did you have some other use case in mind?
