Could you elaborate on the rationale for such a feature as well? In general we try to avoid configuration where building a project involves cloning followed by configuration of Cargo itself, but I'm curious to hear how you ran into this!

Thanks for the explanation! I wonder, would this scheme for prepublish fit your use case? (I think it sounds like it does)

[alexcrichton]

@SRGOM oh well it doesn't have even an RFC yet so it's up in the air, but the idea is that it supports the concept of "assume these crates are from the registry, even though they're not. That way you'd say in your local configuration "append these crates to the crates.io registry" and then you'd write you Cargo.toml as-if you had published those crates, even if you hadn't.

Ok well in that case I think I'm going to close in favor of #2649 (comment) which is itself still in flux so we have yet to see how the dust settles on that issues anyway. Thanks for the report though!
