I had previously assumed that tox would invalidate the build cache when a change to the requirements file was made, but that is not the case. To fix this, we use pip-sync which takes the requirements files and will ensure that the virtualenv setup by tox has the correct dependency versions -- this ensures that changes to requirements files are respected in the tox env always.
