Clippy fix for "`contains_key` followed by `insert`" produces "borrow of moved value" error

When running cargo clippy --fix

[will@localhost girderstream]$ cargo clippy --fix
   Compiling girderstream v0.1.0 (/home/will/projects/rust/buildsystems/girderstream)
warning: failed to automatically apply fixes suggested by rustc to crate `girderstream`

after fixes were automatically applied the compiler reported errors within these files:

  * src/project/project.rs

This likely indicates a bug in either rustc or cargo itself,
and we would appreciate a bug report! You're likely to see 
a number of compiler warnings after this message which cargo
attempted to fix but failed. If you could open an issue at
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues
quoting the full output of this command we'd be very appreciative!
Note that you may be able to make some more progress in the near-term
fixing code with the `--broken-code` flag

The following errors were reported:

The code fails because I use the thing I test for in the hash map in the else. This seems fairly sensible so I am surprised this wasn't picked up already. Maybe I'm missing something silly.

Ether way the output suggested creating a issue so I have done

To reproduce clone https://gitlab.com/girderstream/girderstream/-/commit/edc55aa923ad4fdb51e4494998c4b681b6fcb260 and run cargo clippy --fix

This is the diff clippy suggests with cargo clippy --fix --broken-code https://gitlab.com/girderstream/girderstream/-/commit/f7cbc3b097d859805d1f27b56b0973fb3004e963

which can be fixed with https://gitlab.com/girderstream/girderstream/-/commit/83422f677efb4eba8eb7a54da5cecc6022992d38 but is not always a good idea to add a clone.

Its a shame you cant pass in a borrow to HashMap.entry()

The following simple program reproduces this in rustc 1.80.0-nightly (804421dff 2024-06-07)

use std::collections::HashMap;

fn main() {
    let mut hm:HashMap<String,bool> = HashMap::new();
    let key = "hello".to_string();
    if hm.contains_key(&key) {
        let bval = hm.get_mut(&key).unwrap();
        *bval = false;
    } else {
        hm.insert(key, true);
    }
}

causing this error after fix:

error[E0382]: borrow of moved value: `key`
 --> src/main.rs:9:31
  |
5 |     let key = "hello".to_string();
  |         --- move occurs because `key` has type `std::string::String`, which does not implement the `Copy` trait      
6 |     if let std::collections::hash_map::Entry::Vacant(e) = hm.entry(key) {
  |                                                                    --- value moved here
...
9 |         let bval = hm.get_mut(&key).unwrap();
  |                               ^^^^ value borrowed here after move

error: aborting due to 1 previous error

As @maxi0604 suggested, perhaps if the key is not Copy the lint could simply warn about this but not attempt a fix. An autofix does not seem simple because the get_mut line is now invalid - the key would need to have been cloned in the call to entry for that to work.
