port in another branch interferes

[playgithub]

Problem

In my private git branch, I've ported basictoolbox.
Now I want to port wxcharts publicly, steps as below:

1. new branch from master which keeps untouched

λ git switch master
λ git co -b port-wxcharts

2. port wxcharts
3. test

λ vcpkg install wxcharts
Computing installation plan...
Error: while loading basictoolbox:
The port directory (<vcpkg-root>\ports\basictoolbox) does not exist
Error: failed to load port from <vcpkg-root>\ports\basictoolbox
note: updating vcpkg by rerunning bootstrap-vcpkg may resolve this failure.

How can basictoolbox in another branch interfere with an irrelevant branch?
How to fix it? Tried bootstrap-vcpkg, but no help.

More Info

Same error for branch master, e.g.

λ git switch master
λ vcpkg install somelib_in_master
Error: while loading basictoolbox:

This happens when an installed port doesn't exist in the vcpkg database. You can either remove it, or provide the port from another directory via overlay ports, or just work on a branch which includes the port.

If installed ports and vcpkg database are always synchronized, it is better, right? Why not?

To create a PR, a new branch without my private ports is needed.
Does it mean that my private ports has to be removed first? It's inconvenient.

A PR to vcpkg can't reference your private ports. So why not remove these packages as long as you work on another topic? Re-installation from artifact cache doesn't take much time.
But you don't have to remove them. There are overlay ports, or leveraging git branches/tags/rebasing.

OK, another choice is to clone a new repo for PR only.

If there are many private ports, it'll be not very easy.

Overlay ports introduces new folders, still not very easy.

In this case basictoolbox is irrelevant to vcpkg install wxcharts, why not check only the relevant things?
