cargo new and VSC inconsistency

[Vrajs16]

Problem

In a intialized git repo, running cargo new parent/project creates a new git repository inside project if the parent folder is not already created. If the parent folder is already there then it doesn't create the git repository.

Steps

1. Create a new folder and then inside it, run git init.
2. Then run cargo new test1, you will see that the .git folder does not exist inside of test1
3. Then run cargo new parent/test2, you will see that the .git folder does exist inside of parent/test2
4. Then run cargo new parent/test3, you will see that the .git folder does not exist inside of parent/test3

After running the commands it should look like this:

Running step 2 should not create a .git folder but it does because the parent folder has not been created.
This also does the same thing if more than one parent

Possible Solution(s)

I am assuming that if the parent folder is not created, cargo intializes a repo, so the solution would be to not do that so that it is consistent with cargo new without a path

Thanks for the reproducible steps. This looks pretty similar to and maybe the same as #10981.

Close in favor of #10981.
