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.

-merge API
-=========
-
-The merge API helps a program to reconcile two competing sets of
-improvements to some files (e.g., unregistered changes from the work
-tree versus changes involved in switching to a new branch), reporting
-conflicts if found.  The library called through this API is
-responsible for a few things.
-
- * determining which trees to merge (recursive ancestor consolidation);
-
- * lining up corresponding files in the trees to be merged (rename
-   detection, subtree shifting), reporting edge cases like add/add
-   and rename/rename conflicts to the user;
-
- * performing a three-way merge of corresponding files, taking
-   path-specific merge drivers (specified in `.gitattributes`)
-   into account.
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-* `mmbuffer_t`, `mmfile_t`
-
-These store data usable for use by the xdiff backend, for writing and
-for reading, respectively.  See `xdiff/xdiff.h` for the definitions
-and `diff.c` for examples.
-
-* `struct ll_merge_options`
-
-Check ll-merge.h for details.

-Low-level (single file) merge
