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.

This has been fixed. - - * A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been - fixed. - - * When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http - rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that - will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition - and abort the transfer. - - * Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in - the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is - more widely known when conversion fails from/to it. - - * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support. - - * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by - TravisCI. - - * A few git-svn updates. - - * Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across - three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration. - Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and - pack.compression variables the same way. - - * "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes - tree, which has been fixed. - - * Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales - lacked documentation update, which has been corrected. - - * Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed. - - * It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack - everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning - when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap, - leading to disabling further "gc". - - * "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and - failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff - driver configuration. - - * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path> - pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files. - - * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect - count when squashing more than 10 commits. - - * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has - been corrected to error out with a message. - - * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as - a PRE regexp engine. - - * Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and - took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree - structure. This has been fixed. - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
