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 v1.6.4.1 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.6.4
-------------------
-
- * An unquoted value in the configuration file, when it contains more than
-   one whitespaces in a row, got them replaced with a single space.
-
- * "git am" used to accept a single piece of e-mail per file (not a mbox)
-   as its input, but multiple input format support in v1.6.4 broke it.
-   Apparently many people have been depending on this feature.
-
- * The short help text for "git filter-branch" command was a single long
-   line, wrapped by terminals, and was hard to read.
-
- * The "recursive" strategy of "git merge" segfaulted when a merge has
-   more than one merge-bases, and merging of these merge-bases involves
-   a rename/rename or a rename/add conflict.
-
- * "git pull --rebase" did not use the right fork point when the
-   repository has already fetched from the upstream that rewinds the
-   branch it is based on in an earlier fetch.
-
- * Explain the concept of fast-forward more fully in "git push"
-   documentation, and hint to refer to it from an error message when the
-   command refuses an update to protect the user.
-
- * The default value for pack.deltacachesize, used by "git repack", is now
-   256M, instead of unbounded.  Otherwise a repack of a moderately sized
-   repository would needlessly eat into swap.
-
- * Document how "git repack" (hence "git gc") interacts with a repository
-   that borrows its objects from other repositories (e.g. ones created by
-   "git clone -s").
-
- * "git show" on an annotated tag lacked a delimiting blank line between
-   the tag itself and the contents of the object it tags.
-
- * "git verify-pack -v" erroneously reported number of objects with too
-   deep delta depths as "chain length 0" objects.
-
- * Long names of authors and committers outside US-ASCII were sometimes
-   incorrectly shown in "gitweb".
-
-Other minor documentation updates are included.
