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.

-gitnamespaces(7)
-================
-
-NAME
-----
-gitnamespaces - Git namespaces
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> 'git upload-pack'
-GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> 'git receive-pack'
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-Git supports dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
-namespaces, each of which has its own branches, tags, and HEAD.  Git can
-expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push
-to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to
-operations such as linkgit:git-gc[1].
-
-Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
-avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
-storing multiple branches of the same source.  The alternates mechanism
-provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
-prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
-without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
-
-To specify a namespace, set the `GIT_NAMESPACE` environment variable to
-the namespace.  For each ref namespace, Git stores the corresponding
-refs in a directory under `refs/namespaces/`.  For example,
-`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo` will store refs under `refs/namespaces/foo/`.  You
-can also specify namespaces via the `--namespace` option to
-linkgit:git[1].
-
-Note that namespaces which include a `/` will expand to a hierarchy of
-namespaces; for example, `GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar` will store refs under
-`refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/`.  This makes paths in
-`GIT_NAMESPACE` behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
-`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar` produces the same result as cloning with
-`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo` and cloning from that repo with `GIT_NAMESPACE=bar`.  It
-also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as `foo/refs/heads/`,
-which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the `refs`
-directory.
-
-linkgit:git-upload-pack[1] and linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] rewrite the
-names of refs as specified by `GIT_NAMESPACE`.  git-upload-pack and
-git-receive-pack will ignore all references outside the specified
-namespace.
-
-The smart HTTP server, linkgit:git-http-backend[1], will pass
-GIT_NAMESPACE through to the backend programs; see
-linkgit:git-http-backend[1] for sample configuration to expose
-repository namespaces as repositories.
-
-For a simple local test, you can use linkgit:git-remote-ext[1]:
-
-----------
-git clone ext::'git --namespace=foo %s /tmp/prefixed.git'
