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

The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this
should be fine.

 also used then this is prefixed by either "pack\t", or "keep\t" if a
 new .keep file was successfully created. This is useful to remove a
 .keep file used as a lock to prevent the race with 'git repack'
