[Reproducible-builds] Bug#813912: git: please make the build reproducible

Source: git
Version: 1:2.7.0-1

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that git could not be built reproducibly.
Build timestamps are embedded into generated documentation files, gzip
headers of manpages and other files. It also generates unsorted md5sums
and tclIndex files.

The attached patch fixes those issues.

Regards,
 Reiner
