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.

+--allow-unsafe-features::
+	Many command-line options can be provided as part of the
+	fast-import stream itself by using the `feature` or `option`
+	commands. However, some of these options are unsafe (e.g.,
+	allowing fast-import to access the filesystem outside of the
+	repository). These options are disabled by default, but can be
+	allowed by providing this option on the command line.  This
+	currently impacts only the `export-marks`, `import-marks`, and
+	`import-marks-if-exists` feature commands.
++
+	Only enable this option if you trust the program generating the
+	fast-import stream! This option is enabled automatically for
+	remote-helpers that use the `import` capability, as they are
+	already trusted to run their own code.

+--rewrite-submodules-from=<name>:<file>::
+--rewrite-submodules-to=<name>:<file>::
+  Rewrite the object IDs for the submodule specified by <name> from the values
+	used in the from <file> to those used in the to <file>. The from marks should
+	have been created by `git fast-export`, and the to marks should have been
+	created by `git fast-import` when importing that same submodule.
++
+<name> may be any arbitrary string not containing a colon character, but the
+same value must be used with both options when specifying corresponding marks.
+Multiple submodules may be specified with different values for <name>. It is an
+error not to use these options in corresponding pairs.
++
+These options are primarily useful when converting a repository from one hash
+algorithm to another; without them, fast-import will fail if it encounters a
+submodule because it has no way of writing the object ID into the new hash
+algorithm.
