The commit 011471c ("fetchgit: disable git maintenance") disabled git's maintenance mode, but that does not affect git repositories with submodules. Switch to using the GIT_CONFIG_* environment variables. This is done in a way to make the approach more generic, but also kinda not the best ("insane") so that it works with any future change, even with `impureEnvVars`. Maybe `git -c maintenance.auto=false` can work but I cannot figure out how to use that here. I would prefer disabling maintenance mode in Git's derivation itself but did not find any build-time knob to toggle that. (cherry picked from commit 88cfc54)
