cargo upgrade stopped working for good

[ralfbiedert]

Here is vaguely what happened:

• Not sure if related, but I used cargo workspaces to push new crates. On the last crate the command hung and I CTRL-C'ed it.
• Back in my other project I tried to run cargo upgrade which then only produced

  ❯ cargo upgrade --workspace
  Command failed due to unhandled error: Looks like (C:\Users\rb\.cargo\registry\index\suiyiyu.us.kg-1ecc6299db9ec823\.git\refs/remotes/origin/) is empty
  

• Moving away the suiyiyu.us.kg-1ecc6299db9ec823 folder didn't help either, as I then received

  ❯ cargo upgrade --workspace
  Command failed due to unhandled error: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)
  

Before this incident I have been using cargo-edit without issues for several months, but now I get the same error for any project I try to upgrade. Other cargo commands seem to run just fine.

Update, could fix it by removing .cargo/git and .cargo/registry.

is this still an issue with the current master, if so how can we reproduce?

Can't really reproduce it myself, since I removed the two folders it didn't happen anymore.
