Freeze with the sparse protocol

[loyd]

I'm trying to release all crates in a workspace with the latest stable toolchain (1.71.1) and cargo-release (0.24.11) and after the Published step the whole process just freezes and nothing happens

note: Waiting for `elfo-dumper v0.2.0-alpha.5` to be available at registry `crates-io`.
You may press ctrl-c to skip waiting; the crate should be available shortly.
   Published elfo-dumper v0.2.0-alpha.5 at registry `crates-io`

After enabling the old protocol, it works as expected:

[registries.crates-io]
protocol = "git"

[imp]

It seems that it is not a freeze, but rather long delay caused by cargo-release updating crates.io git index (which is falling behind after switch to sparse index by default in 1.71). Naturally if git index is sufficiently up-to-date the refresh doesn't take long.

Perhaps crates-index dependency may be updated to latest version (0.19 -> 2.1) to allow cargo-release to utilize sparse index instead?

Closing in favor of #679 (different symptom, same root cause)
