Changelog: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/tree/Documentation/RelNotes/2.51.0.adoc?h=v2.51.0

This also removes some contrib scripts that are no longer packaged with Git.

Nothing obviously scary or significantly backward-incompatible in the changelog.

I'm working through the to-do list and will tick things off as I get to them. I don't have access to a Darwin system to test directly, but I regularly build against Darwin over at https://github.com/me-and/nix-git-ci.

Mind taking a look at the cross-compilation issues with Perl support we found in gitFull, if you have some spare compute and attention?

I had a look at #432788, but I've never managed to get my head around cross-compilation in Nixpkgs. I'd love to offer useful opinions, but I don't think I'll have the time to understand the problem well enough any time soon, I'm afraid!

(I am working through a maze of build dependencies as I try to build everything I can in the tickbox in the OP, and rapidly reminding myself why I've historically done the checks by cherry-picking the change onto nixpkgs-unstable rather than trying to build the actual commit in the PR that's on the tip of the staging branch…)

I built a lot of stuff and it's all working fine. Time to get this into the branch.
