Yes. The docs on kernel.org roughly track the `master` branch of git.git, which is stablizing the 1.5.0 release. Git 1.5.0-rc3 was posted last night, and with the exception of a couple of minor cleanups for the detached HEAD warning messages, will be the 1.5.0 final release.

Despite being a release candidate I think we would all encourage you to try working with 1.5.0-rc3 or later. It is extremely stable, the documentation has been significantly improved and updated since 1.4.4.4, and the learning curve should be easier for new users.
