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.

-Setting up git-multimail on Gerrit
-==================================
-
-Gerrit has its own email-sending system, but you may prefer using
-``git-multimail`` instead. It supports Gerrit natively as a Gerrit
-``ref-updated`` hook (Warning: `Gerrit hooks
-<https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-hooks.html>`__
-are distinct from Git hooks). Setting up ``git-multimail`` on a Gerrit
-installation can be done following the instructions below.
-
-The explanations show an easy way to set up ``git-multimail``,
-but leave ``git-multimail`` installed and unconfigured for a while. If
-you run Gerrit on a production server, it is advised that you
-execute the step "Set up the hook" last to avoid confusing your users
-in the meantime.
-
-Set up the hook
----------------
-
-Create a directory ``$site_path/hooks/`` if it does not exist (if you
-don't know what ``$site_path`` is, run ``gerrit.sh status`` and look
-for a ``GERRIT_SITE`` line). Either copy ``git_multimail.py`` to
-``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` or create a wrapper script like
-this::
-
-  #! /bin/sh
-  exec /path/to/git_multimail.py "$@"
-
-In both cases, make sure the file is named exactly
-``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` and is executable.
-
-(Alternatively, you may configure the ``[hooks]`` section of
-gerrit.config)
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-Log on the gerrit server and edit ``$site_path/git/$project/config``
-to configure ``git-multimail``.
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-Warning: this will disable ``git-multimail`` during the debug, and
-could confuse your users. Don't run on a production server.
-
-To debug configuration issues with ``git-multimail``, you can add the
-``--stdout`` option when calling ``git_multimail.py`` like this::
-
-  #!/bin/sh
-  exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py \
-    --stdout "$@" >> /tmp/log.txt
-
-and try pushing from a test repository. You should see the source of
-the email that would have been sent in the output of ``git push`` in
-the file ``/tmp/log.txt``.
