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.

-NAME
-----
-git-symbolic-ref - Read, modify and delete symbolic refs
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'git symbolic-ref' [-m <reason>] <name> <ref>
-'git symbolic-ref' [-q] [--short] <name>
-'git symbolic-ref' --delete [-q] <name>
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Given one argument, reads which branch head the given symbolic
-ref refers to and outputs its path, relative to the `.git/`
-directory.  Typically you would give `HEAD` as the <name>
-argument to see which branch your working tree is on.
-
-Given two arguments, creates or updates a symbolic ref <name> to
-point at the given branch <ref>.
-
-Given `--delete` and an additional argument, deletes the given
-symbolic ref.
-
-A symbolic ref is a regular file that stores a string that
-begins with `ref: refs/`.  For example, your `.git/HEAD` is
-a regular file whose contents is `ref: refs/heads/master`.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
--d::
---delete::
-	Delete the symbolic ref <name>.
-
--q::
---quiet::
-	Do not issue an error message if the <name> is not a
-	symbolic ref but a detached HEAD; instead exit with
-	non-zero status silently.
-
---short::
-	When showing the value of <name> as a symbolic ref, try to shorten the
-	value, e.g. from `refs/heads/master` to `master`.
-
--m::
-	Update the reflog for <name> with <reason>.  This is valid only
-	when creating or updating a symbolic ref.
-
-NOTES
------
-In the past, `.git/HEAD` was a symbolic link pointing at
-`refs/heads/master`.  When we wanted to switch to another branch,
-we did `ln -sf refs/heads/newbranch .git/HEAD`, and when we wanted
-to find out which branch we are on, we did `readlink .git/HEAD`.
-But symbolic links are not entirely portable, so they are now
-deprecated and symbolic refs (as described above) are used by
-default.
-
-'git symbolic-ref' will exit with status 0 if the contents of the
-symbolic ref were printed correctly, with status 1 if the requested
-name is not a symbolic ref, or 128 if another error occurs.
