The latest feature release GIT 1.4.0 is available at the
usual places:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

	git-1.4.0.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
	git-htmldocs-1.4.0.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted documentation)
	git-manpages-1.4.0.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted documentation)
	RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.0-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

This is a significant update since v1.3.0 (and v1.3.3 which is
the same codebase with bugfixes-only).  User visible changes
are:

 - Many commands are now coded in C instead of implemented as
   shell scripts.

 - Checkout is more careful not to clobber untracked files.

 - You can "alias" git commands with leading arguments in your
   configuration file.

 - Documentation set, especially the tutorial, has been reworked.

 - Comes with the latest gitk, gitweb, and contributed software.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.3.0 are as follows:

Alex Riesen:
      make update-index --chmod work with multiple files and --stdin
      remove superflous "const"

Aneesh Kumar K.V:
      gitview: Add key binding for F5.
      gitview: Move the console error messages to message dialog
      gitview: Add some useful keybindings.

Ben Clifford:
      include header to define uint32_t, necessary on Mac OS X
