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.

+/**
+ * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
+ * information to stderr or a file.  The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
+ * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
+ *
+ * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
+ * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
+ * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities.  During initial implementation,
+ * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
+ *
+ * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
+ * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
+ *
+ * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
+ * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets.  Targets transform these
+ * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
+ * their data streams.  In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
+ * many different types of analysis.
+ *
+ * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
+ * formats in the future.  This might be used to define a binary format,
+ * for example.
+ *
+ * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
+ * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables.  Trace2 does
+ * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
+ * command line config settings.
+ *
+ * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
+ * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
+ * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt
