Pkg sometimes removes [targets]

[fredrikekre]

Sometimes the

[targets]
test = ["Test"]

section is removed from the Project.toml file. I have not been able to understand why, and I have always thought that "Well, I guess I accidentally removed it then...", but it keeps happening and it has driven me crazy! I HAVE NOT REMOVED IT!!

I have finally found a way to reproduce it:

1. Start with a clean clone of Pkg or git clean -fdx notably to remove the Manifest.toml file.
2. Remove the uuid = section in Pkg
3. Run julia --project in the Pkg directory
4. Run using Pkg (this seems to be important ...)
5. pkg> add Example
6. pkg> rm Example

and then you have the following diff for the Project.toml file:

diff --git a/Project.toml b/Project.toml
index ed4c5a3..006b005 100644
--- a/Project.toml
