 # Create the local .cargo/config with vendor info

-# The first line of the output to stdout is empty.
-# So skip it to have the file start with the vendoring
-# configuration (`tail --lines=+2`).
-#
-# NOTE:
-#   There is  a patch for cargo to remove the first empty line:
-#   See: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11273
-#
-#   The patch already landed in +nightly and will end up
-#   in +stable soon.
-#
-# ->  When updating rust/cargo, the call to `tail` must be removed.
