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 v2.4.2 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.4.1
-------------------
-
- * "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
-   is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
-   was very inefficient.
-
- * "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
-   take a really long object type name.
-
- * "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
-   do.
-
- * The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
-
- * "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
-   incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
-   munge such a line.  Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
-
- * "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
-   configuration (regression in 2.4).
-
- * "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
-   tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
-   as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
-   conflict resolution.
-
- * We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
-   (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
-   for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
-   support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
-   without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
-   become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
-   users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH).  Stop prepending the
-   path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
-   interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
-   not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
-   and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
-   and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
