@gsuberland Don't see why it should unless file paths change inside the container if you're just patching one file!

@snep if the update changes anything beyond just your one edit, you now have one file mismatched from the rest of the app, which will probably break things. maybe even causing data loss if you get unlucky.


@snep (this would've been the case with the example I gave; the update changed quite a lot in that one file, not just the one line patch I added, so if the old file was overlaid on the new app version it would've broken and caused some data inconsistencies)
