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 v1.8.5.5 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.8.5.4
---------------------
-
- * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git
-   diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match
-   some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved.
-
- * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when
-   the command was reimplemented in C.
-
- * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where
-   /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path
-   (e.g. Fedora rawhide).
-
- * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation
-   and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters,
-   e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed.
-
- * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
-   directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
-   validation paths do different things on such a refname.  Loosen the
-   client side's validation to allow such a ref.
-
- * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits
-   reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent
-   bugfix.  This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.
-
- * "git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal
-   result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself.
-
- * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error
-   out, but it didn't.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
