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.

+--packfile=<hash>::
+	Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in
+	this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
+	URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
+	The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
+	arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.

 --recover::
 	Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.  Used after
 	an earlier fetch is interrupted.
