The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.4.1 is available at the usual places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
  git-1.5.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.5.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.5.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.4.1-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

Among a handful of documentation patches, there are a few true bugfixes.

 * An entry in the .gitattributes file that names a pattern in a
   subdirectory of the directory it is in did not match
   correctly (e.g. pattern "b/*.c" in "a/.gitattributes" should
   match "a/b/foo.c" but it didn't).
 * "git-commit -C $tag" used to work but rewrite in C done in
   1.5.4 broke it, which this release fixes.
 * Customized color specification was parsed incorrectly when
   numeric color values are used.
