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 v2.4.3 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.4.3
-------------------
-
- * Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as
-   "remote branches".
-
- * "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a
-   cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead.
-
- * "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but
-   "git pull --log=20" did not.
-
- * The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff
-   configuration, but it didn't.
-
- * The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred
-   pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory
-   enough to hold that many actual structures.  Correct the allocation
-   size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough.
-
- * Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
-   consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
-   formatter) happier.
-
- * "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the
-   command line.
-
- * Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago
-   unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with
-   resource exhaustion.
-
- * The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is
-   removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice
-   versa) very well.
-
- * The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit
-   at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not
-   work with --decorate=full.
-
- * There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
-   failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the
-   test was written; turn it into a proper test.
-
- * core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed
-   to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but
-   the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it.
-
- * The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
-   differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
-   its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
-   variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
-   anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").
-
- * "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
-   bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.
-
- * "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by
-   killing the editor.
-
- * Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone"
-   with native transports.
-
- * Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
-   call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
-   state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
-   with LF line ending to make their project portable across
-   platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with
-   CRLF for their platform.
-
- * Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
