I have a package that can only be published to some internal repositories:

[package]
publish = ["myregistry-prod", "myregistry-dev"]

both registries are correctly configured in .cargo/config.toml. Setting the version is not possible for us:

$ cargo release version --no-confirm -x 0.4.0
error: failed to get package content for /home/runner/work/mypackage/Cargo.toml: error: `mypackage` cannot be packaged.
The registry `myregistry` is not listed in the `package.publish` value in Cargo.toml.

I see two issues here:

1. why does version do a registry check? It should only update the version number
2. if this check is necessary, it should be possible to pass --registry to the version command, similar to publish --registry.
