dvc add causing "ERROR: failed to download" after dvc remove and gc

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am using dvc 0.50.1 I found if I do dvc add after dvc remove and dvc gc. It leads to an error as the following:

$dvc add data.csv
$dvc remove data.csv.dvc
$rm data.csv.dvc
$dvc gc
$dvc add data.csv

ERROR: failed to download ".dvc/cache/............"
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''/home/ccha97u/Documents/dvc_example/.dvc/cache/....."

Is this an expected behavior? How do I solve this?

@GBJim for the time being you can touch any file in the dir to make it work, this will update its mtime and resolve the confusion.
