chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead r/2903
This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping
it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not
to be a big issue.

On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance
burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we
have.

This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git
source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied
patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

-GIT v1.5.2.2 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.5.2.1
---------------------
-
-* Usability fix
-
-  - git-gui is shipped with its updated blame interface.  It is
-    rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was
-    active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty.
-    Please see for yourself.
-
-* Bugfixes
-
-  - "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a
-    branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time.  It correctly
-    checks out the branch fubar now.
-
-  - "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git
-    repository left an incorrect configuration.
-
-  - "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in
-    the patch-email before using their values.
-
-  - We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than
-    year 2000 as a valid timestamp.  We now interpret positive
-    integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to
-    express timestamps more recent than March 1973.
-
-  - git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point
-    your repository at a nonstandard location.
-
-  - Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make
-    h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement
-    implementation.
-
-  - .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is
-    git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time.
-
-  - "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge
-    on binary files.
-
-  - "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration
-    correctly when the branch name had slash in it.
-
-  - The email address of the user specified with user.email
-    configuration was overridden by EMAIL environment variable.
-
-  - The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with
-    nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs.
-
-  - "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still
-    invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles.
-
-* Documentation
-
-  - Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation.
-
-  - Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted
-    with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better.
