+"""Check that no Cargo.toml files contain [patch.crates-io] entries.

+Release builds must not depend on patched crates. During development it is
+common to temporarily patch crates-io dependencies, but those patches must
+be removed before creating a release.
+
+An empty [patch.crates-io] section is allowed.
