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.

Before processing any input, load the marks specified in

must use the same format as produced by --export-marks.
--mark-tags::
In addition to labelling blobs and commits with mark ids, also
label tags. This is useful in conjunction with
`--export-marks` and `--import-marks`, and is also useful (and
necessary) for exporting of nested tags. It does not hurt
other cases and would be the default, but many fast-import
frontends are not prepared to accept tags with mark
identifiers.

If the backend uses a similar --import-marks file, this allows for
incremental bidirectional exporting of the repository by keeping the

no private data in the stream.
Reproducing some bugs may require referencing particular commits or
paths, which becomes challenging after refnames and paths have been
anonymized. You can ask for a particular token to be left as-is or
mapped to a new value. For example, if you have a bug which reproduces
with `git rev-list sensitive -- secret.c`, you can run:
---------------------------------------------------
$ git fast-export --anonymize --all \
--anonymize-map=sensitive:foo \
--anonymize-map=secret.c:bar.c \
>stream
---------------------------------------------------
After importing the stream, you can then run `git rev-list foo -- bar.c`
in the anonymized repository.
Note that paths and refnames are split into tokens at slash boundaries.
The command above would anonymize `subdir/secret.c` as something like
`path123/bar.c`; you could then search for `bar.c` in the anonymized
repository to determine the final pathname.
To make referencing the final pathname simpler, you can map each path
component; so if you also anonymize `subdir` to `publicdir`, then the
final pathname would be `publicdir/bar.c`.
