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 v1.7.5.3 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.5.2
--------------------
* The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh's bash
completion emulation layer now.
* Setting $(prefix) in config.mak did not affect where etc/gitconfig
file is read from, even though passing it from the command line of
$(MAKE) did.
* The logic to handle "&" (expand to UNIX username) in GECOS field
miscounted the length of the name it formatted.
* "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.
* "git diff --word-diff" misbehaved when diff.suppress-blank-empty was
in effect.
* "git log --stdin path" with an input that has additional pathspec
used to corrupt memory.
* "git send-pack" (hence "git push") over smart-HTTP protocol could
deadlock when the client side pack-object died early.
* Compressed tarball gitweb generates used to be made with the timestamp
of the tarball generation; this was bad because snapshot from the same
tree should result in a same tarball.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
