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.

While many branch tips tend to be updated often, -most tags and some branch tips are never updated.

When a ref is missing from the -traditional `$GIT_DIR/refs` directory hierarchy, it is looked -up in this -file and used if found. - -Subsequent updates to branches always create new files under -`$GIT_DIR/refs` directory hierarchy. - -A recommended practice to deal with a repository with too many -refs is to pack its refs with `--all` once, and -occasionally run `git pack-refs`. Tags are by -definition stationary and are not expected to change. Branch -heads will be packed with the initial `pack-refs --all`, but -only the currently active branch heads will become unpacked, -and the next `pack-refs` (without `--all`) will leave them -unpacked. - - -OPTIONS -------- - ---all:: - -The command by default packs all tags and refs that are already -packed, and leaves other refs -alone. This is because branches are expected to be actively -developed and packing their tips does not help performance. -This option causes branch tips to be packed as well. Useful for -a repository with many branches of historical interests. - ---no-prune:: - -The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs` -hierarchy after packing them. This option tells it not to. - - -BUGS ----- - -Older documentation written before the packed-refs mechanism was -introduced may still say things like ".git/refs/heads/<branch> file -exists" when it means "branch <branch> exists". - - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
