GIT 0.99.9m aka 1.0rc5 is found at usual places:
RPM
http://kernel.org:/pub/software/scm/git/RPMS/
Debian
http://kernel.org:/pub/software/scm/git/debian/
Notable changes since 1.0rc4 are:
- archimport updates.
- gitk updates to work around Tcl/Tk i18n issues.
- better portability to Solaris and AIX.
- slimmed down update-server-info.
- conflicting merge leaves higher stages in index around.
- http-fetch does not fail to write refs in subdirectories.
- git-prune cannot be made to lose referened objects by mistake anymore.
- a lot of documentation fixes.
We are now feature complete and I am hoping that I can push the
same out sometime in the coming week tagged as v1.0, after
giving it some time to shake out any possible last-minute bugs.
Right now, proposed updates branch has sample patches for the
usage string clean-up from Fredrik Kuivinen for people to
comment on; it is not a complete series yet and makes some tests
fail. I personally feel this series can and probably should
wait post 1.0.
