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.

-Contributing
-============
-
-git-multimail is an open-source project, built by volunteers. We would
-welcome your help!
-
-The current maintainers are `Matthieu Moy <http://matthieu-moy.fr>`__ and
-`Michael Haggerty <https://github.com/mhagger>`__.
-
-Please note that although a copy of git-multimail is distributed in
-the "contrib" section of the main Git project, development takes place
-in a separate `git-multimail repository on GitHub`_.
-
-Whenever enough changes to git-multimail have accumulated, a new
-code-drop of git-multimail will be submitted for inclusion in the Git
-project.
-
-We use the GitHub issue tracker to keep track of bugs and feature
-requests, and we use GitHub pull requests to exchange patches (though,
-if you prefer, you can send patches via the Git mailing list with CC
-to the maintainers). Please sign off your patches as per the `Git
-project practice
-<https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L234>`__.
-
-Please vote for issues you would like to be addressed in priority
-(click "add your reaction" and then the "+1" thumbs-up button on the
-GitHub issue).
-
-General discussion of git-multimail can take place on the main `Git
-mailing list`_.
-
-Please CC emails regarding git-multimail to the maintainers so that we
-don't overlook them.
-
-Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the
-Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed
-to test git-multimail on other real-life setups:
-
-* Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these
-  platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to
-  write code as portable as possible, it is possible that
-  git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it
-  could be ported easily.
-
-  Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome.
-  Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test
-  at least once before each release (around twice a year).
-
-* Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite
-  contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each
-  environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success)
-  on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before
-  each release would be highly appreciated).
