merge(3p/git): Merge git subtree at v2.29.2

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.

is currently the default, but can be disabled with --quiet.
--allow-unsafe-features::
Many command-line options can be provided as part of the
fast-import stream itself by using the `feature` or `option`
commands. However, some of these options are unsafe (e.g.,
allowing fast-import to access the filesystem outside of the
repository). These options are disabled by default, but can be
allowed by providing this option on the command line. This
currently impacts only the `export-marks`, `import-marks`, and
`import-marks-if-exists` feature commands.
+
Only enable this option if you trust the program generating the
fast-import stream! This option is enabled automatically for
remote-helpers that use the `import` capability, as they are
already trusted to run their own code.

Relative and non-relative marks may be combined by interweaving
--(no-)-relative-marks with the --(import|export)-marks= options.
Submodule Rewriting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--rewrite-submodules-from=<name>:<file>::
--rewrite-submodules-to=<name>:<file>::
Rewrite the object IDs for the submodule specified by <name> from the values
used in the from <file> to those used in the to <file>. The from marks should
have been created by `git fast-export`, and the to marks should have been
created by `git fast-import` when importing that same submodule.
+
<name> may be any arbitrary string not containing a colon character, but the
same value must be used with both options when specifying corresponding marks.
Multiple submodules may be specified with different values for <name>. It is an
error not to use these options in corresponding pairs.
+
These options are primarily useful when converting a repository from one hash
algorithm to another; without them, fast-import will fail if it encounters a
submodule because it has no way of writing the object ID into the new hash
algorithm.
