cabal repl -b ... generates dist-newstyle

[fendor]

Describe the bug

cabal repl -b ... populates the dist-newstyle directory, even though it shouldn't.

To Reproduce

$ mkdir some-dir && cd some-dir
$ ls
$ cabal v2-repl -b base
> :q
$ ls # should be empty, but isn't
$ tree
.
└── dist-newstyle
    └── cache
        └── compiler

Please use version-prefixed commands (e.g. v2-build or v1-build) to avoid ambiguity.

Expected behavior
No dist-newstyle should be created

System information

• Arch Linux
• cabal 3.8.1.0
• ghc 8.10.7

[gbaz]

expect this may be fixed by #8358 ?

[fendor]

Just checked cabal for the latest master commit e714824 and it is not fixed.

Same, I pulled the version built in CI for #8358, and it does create dist-newstyle both for cabal repl and cabal update.
