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.

-hg-to-git.py is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one,
-and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor)
-
-hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude
-combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for
-me. Features:
-	- supports incremental conversion
-	  (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one)
-        - supports hg branches
-        - converts hg tags
-
-Note that the git repository will be created 'in place' (at the same
-location as the source hg repo). You will have to manually remove the
-'.hg' directory after the conversion.
-
-Also note that the incremental conversion uses 'simple' hg changesets
-identifiers (ordinals, as opposed to SHA-1 ids), and since these ids
-are not stable across different repositories the hg-to-git.py state file
-is forever tied to one hg repository.
