    Update source installation to use Git from Gitaly · c934e36c
    Patrick Steinhardt authored
    Currently, there's quite a lot of different places which keep track
    about which Git version is required by Gitaly in order to have it
    operate correctly. This list is hard to keep current, and naturally
    those places have diverged in the path.
    
    To fix this, we're moving towards a single source of truth for the
    current Git version, which is going to be Gitaly. To implement this,
    Gitaly nowadays provides a "make git" target which automatically builds
    a supported configuration of Git and installs it into the desired
    location. While not yet done, the vision is that this allows us to
    quickly iterate in case there are security vulnerabilities reported or
    in case there's a bug in Git which impacts operations.
    
    As a first target, this commit converts our source-based installation
    instructions to use this target.
