Hi all, fearing that this could potentially be a duplicate [see here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-0-6-3-on-windows-10-error-giterror-code-enotfound-class-repository-could-not-find-repository-from-c-users-user-julia-v0-6-cache-bindeps/11455) I am running into a similar error but I believe the `.cache` directory may not exist anymore? I cannot located it in my `.julia` directory. But I am getting a similiar error when trying to `instantiate` my environment.

Move the `clones` directory to `clones_backup`. If all is well after this you can remove the `clones_backup` directory.
