merge(3p/git): Merge git subtree at v2.29.2 r/1890
This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because
there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc
credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs.

The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this
should be fine.

-=========

-NAME
-----
-svn-fe - convert an SVN "dumpfile" to a fast-import stream
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-mkfifo backchannel &&
-svnadmin dump --deltas REPO |
-	svn-fe [url] 3<backchannel |
-	git fast-import --cat-blob-fd=3 3>backchannel
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-Converts a Subversion dumpfile into input suitable for
-git-fast-import(1) and similar importers. REPO is a path to a
-Subversion repository mirrored on the local disk. Remote Subversion
-repositories can be mirrored on local disk using the `svnsync`
-command.
-
-Note: this tool is very young.  The details of its commandline
-interface may change in backward incompatible ways.
-
-INPUT FORMAT
-------------
-Subversion's repository dump format is documented in full in
-`notes/dump-load-format.txt` from the Subversion source tree.
-Files in this format can be generated using the 'svnadmin dump' or
-'svk admin dump' command.
-
-OUTPUT FORMAT
--------------
-The fast-import format is documented by the git-fast-import(1)
-manual page.
-
-NOTES
------
-Subversion dumps do not record a separate author and committer for
-each revision, nor do they record a separate display name and email
-address for each author.  Like git-svn(1), 'svn-fe' will use the name
-
----------
-user <user@UUID>
----------
-
-as committer, where 'user' is the value of the `svn:author` property
-and 'UUID' the repository's identifier.
-
-To support incremental imports, 'svn-fe' puts a `git-svn-id` line at
-the end of each commit log message if passed a URL on the command
-line.  This line has the form `git-svn-id: URL@REVNO UUID`.
-
-The resulting repository will generally require further processing
-to put each project in its own repository and to separate the history
-of each branch.  The 'git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter' command
-may be useful for this purpose.
-
-BUGS
-----
-Empty directories and unknown properties are silently discarded.
-
-The exit status does not reflect whether an error was detected.
