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.

The command takes various subcommands, and different options depending
on the subcommand:
git bisect start [--term-{old,good}=<term> --term-{new,bad}=<term>]
[--no-checkout] [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<paths>...]
git bisect start [--term-{new,bad}=<term> --term-{old,good}=<term>]
[--no-checkout] [--first-parent] [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<paths>...]
git bisect (bad|new|<term-new>) [<rev>]
git bisect (good|old|<term-old>) [<rev>...]
git bisect terms [--term-good | --term-bad]

If the repository is bare, `--no-checkout` is assumed.
--first-parent::
+
Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge commit.
+
In detecting regressions introduced through the merging of a branch, the merge
commit will be identified as introduction of the bug and its ancestors will be
ignored.
+
This option is particularly useful in avoiding false positives when a merged
branch contained broken or non-buildable commits, but the merge itself was OK.
