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 v1.5.6 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Updates since v1.5.5
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
-* Comes with updated gitk and git-gui.
-
-(portability)
-
-* git will build on AIX better than before now.
-
-* core.ignorecase configuration variable can be used to work better on
-  filesystems that are not case sensitive.
-
-* "git init" now autodetects the case sensitivity of the filesystem and
-  sets core.ignorecase accordingly.
-
-* cpio is no longer used; neither "curl" binary (libcurl is still used).
-
-(documentation)
-
-* Many freestanding documentation pages have been converted and made
-  available to "git help" (aka "man git<something>") as section 7 of
-  the manual pages. This means bookmarks to some HTML documentation
-  files may need to be updated (eg "tutorial.html" became
-  "gittutorial.html").
-
-(performance)
-
-* "git clone" was rewritten in C.  This will hopefully help cloning a
-  repository with insane number of refs.
-
-* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of
-  $branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree
-  files unnecessarily.  This has been optimized.
-
-* Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing
-  plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
-* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to
-  apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes.
-
-* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information.
-
-* "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it
-  does its work on a detached HEAD.
-
-* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up
-  branch.<name>.rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull"
-  and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen.
-
-* "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list
-  branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the
-  current branch.
-
-* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off.
-
-* "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing
-  somebody else's changes.
-
-* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual
-  changes.
-
-* "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated.
-
-* "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary
-  changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only
-  for reviewing.
-
-* "git init --bare" is a synonym for "git --bare init" now.
-
-* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-auto-gc hook to temporarily disable it.
-
-* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry,
-  instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how
-  "git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works.
-
-* "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry
-  graph at the left margin of the output.
-
-* "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different
-  from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable.
-
-* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository.
-
-* "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting.
-
-* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule
-  summary".
-
-* "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship
-  by munging the commit log message.
-
-* new object creation and looking up in "git svn" has been optimized.
-
-* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file.
-
-(internal)
-
-* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about
-  detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire.
-
-
