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.

credential.helper::
Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. This is
normally the name of a credential helper with possible
arguments, but may also be an absolute path with arguments or, if
preceded by `!`, shell commands.
+
Note that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
for details and examples.
credential.useHttpPath::
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
credential.username::
If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
credential.<url>.*::
Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
would set the default username only for https connections to
example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
matched.
credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP::
Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting.
