    Instruct users to build git via Gitaly · 7245030f

    The install instructions for CentOS still document how to build and
    install git. This is tedious, as on each bump of the minimum required
    git version for Gitaly, this documentation needs to be updated. As a
    point in case, the currently documented minimum required version is
    still documented as git 2.27, which hasn't been supported since release
    v13.6.0 anymore.
    
    To fix these issues, we've started migrating downstream distributions of
    Gitaly to instead use the git version provided by Gitaly itself: it's
    well tested, always up-to-date and thus overall a lot less of a hassle
    to maintain. Source install users are already being told to install git
    via Gitaly's `make git` target [1], so let's convert the CentOS install
    documentation to do the same.
