Vincent Ambo f4609b896f 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.

git-http-fetch(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options
`-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now
silently ignored.
OPTIONS
-------
commit-id::
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
pull.
-a, -c, -t::
These options are ignored for historical reasons.
-v::
Report what is downloaded.
-w <filename>::
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
the local end after the transfer is complete.
--stdin::
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
--packfile=<hash>::
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in
this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.
--recover::
Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
an earlier fetch is interrupted.
