usual places:

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.
