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 v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
-run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
-more stable than any tagged released version of git.
-
-This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
-without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
-upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
-the future.
-
-Fixes since v1.5.4.5
---------------------
-
- * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
-
- * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
-   have been improved.
-
- * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
-   been improved.
-
- * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
-   stop parsing at the closing "}".
-
- * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
-   but it should print nothing.
-
- * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
-
- * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
-   "sub/a/b", but it did.
-
- * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
-   date-order with topo-order as expected.
-
- * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
-
- * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
-
-As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
