Encryption process strips leading comments

[grantbachman]

I'm using Sops 3.05, and found that if a file contains a leading comment, like in the example below, it is completely absent in the encrypted version of the file. Is there a reason for this or is this just a bug?

# Comment
key: value
# Another Comment

This is a known bug (see #300 (comment)). The reason for this is that it was too complicated to support this in our YAML parser. A contribution that fixes this would of course be very welcome.

Thanks for the quick reply! Completely understandable. It seems more and more tools are written in Go, which I don't yet know...
