Description

add a field to clippy.toml that allows it to refer to a git repository or a path where a clippy.toml is located. Pre-initialize all settings from the referred clippy.toml and then overwrite with the local clippy.toml.

Open questions:

  • how to cache the downloaded clippy.toml
  • is the referred clippy.toml allowed to refer to others itself?
