For Ubuntu users: there is a git PPA [1] which usually has quite up-to-date git packages for recent Ubuntu releases. If you configure your system to use this PPA (instructions are on the page) then you can stay up-to-date with minimal effort. Currently they have version 1.7.8.2 available for hardy, lucid, maverick, natty, and oneiric and older versions for some other Ubuntu releases.
Caveat: I am not affiliated with the PPA and cannot vouch for its integrity.
