Description

.cargo/config.toml:

[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true

However, when compiling with bitbake, it cannot find the private crates.

Research direction

Start with the .cargo/config.toml settings shown in the report and reproduce the failure during the BitBake compile step. Inspect how private rust-protobufs Git dependencies are fetched and how Git credential helpers are reached. Done means the issue has a verified workaround or support fix for authenticated private crates with net.git-fetch-with-cli = true.
