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 v2.6.4 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.6.3
-------------------
-
- * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which
-   upset some linkers.
-
- * Add support for talking http/https over socks proxy.
-
- * Portability fix for Windows, which may rewrite $SHELL variable using
-   non-POSIX paths.
-
- * We now consistently allow all hooks to ignore their standard input,
-   rather than having git complain of SIGPIPE.
-
- * Fix shell quoting in contrib script.
-
- * Test portability fix for a topic in v2.6.1.
-
- * Allow tilde-expansion in some http config variables.
-
- * Give a useful special case "diff/show --word-diff-regex=." as an
-   example in the documentation.
-
- * Fix for a corner case in filter-branch.
-
- * Make git-p4 work on a detached head.
-
- * Documentation clarification for "check-ignore" without "--verbose".
-
- * Just like the working tree is cleaned up when the user cancelled
-   submission in P4Submit.applyCommit(), clean up the mess if "p4
-   submit" fails.
-
- * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in
-   the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
-
- * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory
-   for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be
-   copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already
-   special cases and overwrites them.  Besides, it was wrong to try
-   computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may
-   not even exist or may be a directory.
-
- * There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
-   from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
-
- * Allow "git interpret-trailers" to run outside of a Git repository.
-
- * Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we
-   are on an orphan or an unborn branch.
-
- * Some corner cases have been fixed in string-matching done in "git
-   status".
-
- * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take
-   more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround
-   for it.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
