Description
For example, here's the output of `cargo upgrade --incompatible=allow --pinned=allow`:
Note that it incorrectly detects the latest versions of most of the packages.
I have similar behavior with `cargo upgrade --incompatible=allow`.
Also, these commands take about 5 minutes to finish, which seems very slow to me.
FYI, I'm fully up to date as of time of writing (`rustc 1.73.0 (cc66ad468 2023-10-03)` and `cargo-edit-upgrade 0.12.2`.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with `cargo upgrade --incompatible=allow` and `--pinned=allow`, using the Rust and cargo-edit-upgrade versions noted in the issue. Trace the `cargo upgrade` command's version discovery and timing, then verify that packages select their latest compatible versions and that the commands no longer take about five minutes.
