The git-git expression promises to build the current git HEAD, but in fact it builds git HEAD plus a fairly extensive, undocumented, untested patch that is apparently not part of the repository. By changing the name of the installed package to 'git-git-with-glob-patch', we ensure that users aren't mislead about what exactly they'll get when installing this package. Technically, GIT-VERSION-FILE should be patched so that the installed git binaries reflect this change too when called with '--version', but the current solution is probably good enough. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=12506
