merge(3p/git): Merge git subtree at v2.29.2 r/1890
This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb
