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.

-= Git bundle v2 format
-
-The Git bundle format is a format that represents both refs and Git objects.
-
-== Format
-
-We will use ABNF notation to define the Git bundle format. See
-protocol-common.txt for the details.
-
-A v2 bundle looks like this:
-
-----
-bundle    = signature *prerequisite *reference LF pack
-signature = "# v2 git bundle" LF
-
-prerequisite = "-" obj-id SP comment LF
-comment      = *CHAR
-reference    = obj-id SP refname LF
-
-pack         = ... ; packfile
-----
-
-A v3 bundle looks like this:
-
-----
-bundle    = signature *capability *prerequisite *reference LF pack
-signature = "# v3 git bundle" LF
-
-capability   = "@" key ["=" value] LF
-prerequisite = "-" obj-id SP comment LF
-comment      = *CHAR
-reference    = obj-id SP refname LF
-key          = 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")
-value        = *(%01-09 / %0b-FF)
-
-pack         = ... ; packfile
-----
-
-== Semantics
-
-A Git bundle consists of several parts.
-
-* "Capabilities", which are only in the v3 format, indicate functionality that
-	the bundle requires to be read properly.
-
-* "Prerequisites" lists the objects that are NOT included in the bundle and the
-  reader of the bundle MUST already have, in order to use the data in the
-  bundle. The objects stored in the bundle may refer to prerequisite objects and
-  anything reachable from them (e.g. a tree object in the bundle can reference
-  a blob that is reachable from a prerequisite) and/or expressed as a delta
-  against prerequisite objects.
-
-* "References" record the tips of the history graph, iow, what the reader of the
-  bundle CAN "git fetch" from it.
-
-* "Pack" is the pack data stream "git fetch" would send, if you fetch from a
-  repository that has the references recorded in the "References" above into a
-  repository that has references pointing at the objects listed in
-  "Prerequisites" above.
-
-In the bundle format, there can be a comment following a prerequisite obj-id.
-This is a comment and it has no specific meaning. The writer of the bundle MAY
-put any string here. The reader of the bundle MUST ignore the comment.
-
-=== Note on the shallow clone and a Git bundle
-
-Note that the prerequisites does not represent a shallow-clone boundary. The
-semantics of the prerequisites and the shallow-clone boundaries are different,
-and the Git bundle v2 format cannot represent a shallow clone repository.
-
-== Capabilities
-
-Because there is no opportunity for negotiation, unknown capabilities cause 'git
-bundle' to abort.  The only known capability is `object-format`, which specifies
-the hash algorithm in use, and can take the same values as the
-`extensions.objectFormat` configuration value.
