As far as I understand, it's necessary for all uploaded crates to
specify at least some version restriction, and path-only dependencies
aren't accepted.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#specifying-path-dependencies

I tried the { path = "../hg-core", version = "0.0.1" } variant (seems to
work indeed), but I find the workspace solution cleaner (since we
already got one) and I'm more confident about its platform independence.

Besides third party dependencies to hg-core or even hg-cpython
appearing, here's a reason for them not being purely internal:
downstream packagers may need to rely on the crates.io version as per
their policies or tooling capabilities.

If I understood well what Debian packagers told me about it, it is
mandatory for inclusion in Debian, meaning that if a Rust-enhanced
Mercurial were to enter Debian, the crates would be taken from
crates.io. Anything in Debian testing can be backported to stable.
Therefore, Debian's release cycle being close to an end means that such
a scenario will be possible again quite soon.

Of course, we could just content ourselves with the name reservation,
but I'd be glad to make one step further.
