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.

-line_buffer API
-===============
-
-The line_buffer library provides a convenient interface for
-mostly-line-oriented input.
-
-Each line is not permitted to exceed 10000 bytes.  The provided
-functions are not thread-safe or async-signal-safe, and like
-`fgets()`, they generally do not function correctly if interrupted
-by a signal without SA_RESTART set.
-
-Calling sequence
-----------------
-
-The calling program:
-
- - initializes a `struct line_buffer` to LINE_BUFFER_INIT
- - specifies a file to read with `buffer_init`
- - processes input with `buffer_read_line`, `buffer_skip_bytes`,
-   and `buffer_copy_bytes`
- - closes the file with `buffer_deinit`, perhaps to start over and
-   read another file.
-
-When finished, the caller can use `buffer_reset` to deallocate
-resources.
-
-Using temporary files
----------------------
-
-Temporary files provide a place to store data that should not outlive
-the calling program.  A program
-
- - initializes a `struct line_buffer` to LINE_BUFFER_INIT
- - requests a temporary file with `buffer_tmpfile_init`
- - acquires an output handle by calling `buffer_tmpfile_rewind`
- - uses standard I/O functions like `fprintf` and `fwrite` to fill
-   the temporary file
- - declares writing is over with `buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read`
- - can re-read what was written with `buffer_read_line`,
-   `buffer_copy_bytes`, and so on
- - can reuse the temporary file by calling `buffer_tmpfile_rewind`
-   again
- - removes the temporary file with `buffer_deinit`, perhaps to
-   reuse the line_buffer for some other file.
-
-When finished, the calling program can use `buffer_reset` to deallocate
-resources.

-Functions
----------
-
-`buffer_init`, `buffer_fdinit`::
-	Open the named file or file descriptor for input.
-	buffer_init(buf, NULL) prepares to read from stdin.
-	On failure, returns -1 (with errno indicating the nature
-	of the failure).
-
-`buffer_deinit`::
-	Stop reading from the current file (closing it unless
-	it was stdin).  Returns nonzero if `fclose` fails or
-	the error indicator was set.
-
-`buffer_read_line`::
-	Read a line and strip off the trailing newline.
-	On failure or end of file, returns NULL.
-
-`buffer_copy_bytes`::
-	Read `len` bytes of input and dump them to the standard output
-	stream.  Returns early for error or end of file.
-
-`buffer_skip_bytes`::
-	Discards `len` bytes from the input stream (stopping early
-	if necessary because of an error or eof).  Return value is
-	the number of bytes successfully read.
-
-`buffer_reset`::
-	Deallocates non-static buffers.
