I'm referring to http://doc.crates.io/specifying-dependencies.html#working-with-an-unpublished-minor-version :

It's also worth nothing that [patch] applies transitively. Let's say you use my-library in a larger project, such as:
[...]
Remember that [patch] is only applicable at the top level so we consumers of my-library have to repeat the [patch] section if necessary.

This is really weird: is [patch] applying transitively or is it only applying at the top level?
