The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.1.1 is available at the usual places:

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

  git-1.4.1.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.4.1.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.4.1.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.1.1-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

The primary purpose of this release is to fix the breakage people reported while cloning large quantity of data via git protocol, and the server side incorrectly timing out. I am very sorry for the breakage.

A big thanks goes to Matthias Lederhofer who fixed the breakage for us. The fix was cherry-picked from the "master" branch.

The "master" branch has the same fix already and we will have an 1.4.2-rc2 sometime this week, hopefully soon.
