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 v2.5.2 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.5.1
-------------------
-
- * "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'",
-   which was found to be a bit confusing to new users.
-
- * The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of
-   a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer
-   block.
-
- * When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing
-   the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core
-   index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code
-   to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s).
-
- * "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive
-   with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)?
-
- * The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover
-   from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file.
-
- * "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain
-   when one is given.
-
- * Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
-   "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
-   as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
-   keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
-   git command'.  These warning messages have been squelched.
-
- * We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it
-   necessary to have Perl to build Git.  Reduced Perl dependency by
-   rewriting it again using sed.
-
- * t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some
-   bitrot, which has been corrected.
-
- * strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary
-   strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated.
-
- * The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
-   the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
-   calling die().
-
- * When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
-   leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
-   then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
-   O_NOATIME.  This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
-   packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
-   object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.
-
- * An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a
-   single letter nickname.
-
- * A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold
-   pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to
-   allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
