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 v1.7.8.2 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.7.8.1
---------------------
-
- * Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
-   and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
-   the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
-   type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
-
- * The configuration file parser used for sizes (e.g. bigFileThreshold)
-   did not correctly interpret 'g' suffix.
-
- * The replacement implementation for snprintf used on platforms with
-   native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly.
-
- * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter replaced all LF with CRLF, which might
-   be technically correct but not friendly to people who are trying
-   to recover from earlier mistakes of using CRLF in the repository
-   data in the first place. It now refrains from doing so for LF that
-   follows a CR.
-
- * git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
-   SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.
-
- * "git branch -m <current branch> HEAD" is an obvious no-op but was not
-   allowed.
-
- * "git checkout -m" did not recreate the conflicted state in a "both
-   sides added, without any common ancestor version" conflict
-   situation.
-
- * "git cherry-pick $commit" (not a range) created an unnecessary
-   sequencer state and interfered with valid workflow to use the
-   command during a session to cherry-pick multiple commits.
-
- * You could make "git commit" segfault by giving the "--no-message"
-   option.
-
- * "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
-   possibly corrupting the fan-out.
-
- * "git fetch-pack" accepted unqualified refs that do not begin with
-   refs/ by mistake and compensated it by matching the refspec with
-   tail-match, which was doubly wrong. This broke fetching from a
-   repository with a funny named ref "refs/foo/refs/heads/master" and a
-   'master' branch with "git fetch-pack refs/heads/master", as the
-   command incorrectly considered the former a "match".
-
- * "git log --follow" did not honor the rename threshold score given
-   with the -M option (e.g. "-M50%").
-
- * "git mv" gave suboptimal error/warning messages when it overwrites
-   target files. It also did not pay attention to "-v" option.
-
- * Authenticated "git push" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
-   change and failed without asking for password when username is
-   given.
-
- * "git push" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a
-   recent change to the ref handling.
-
- * "git push -v" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly
-   becomes verbose when asked to.
-
- * When a "reword" action in "git rebase -i" failed to run "commit --amend",
-   we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
-   instead kept the original commit log message.
-
-Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
