RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.4.3-1.$arch.rpm (RPM)Largest user visible change in this is RPM packaging updates by Kristian Høgsberg. 'git-core' will only be pure git without pulling foreign SCM packages in as its dependencies anymore when you do "yum install git-core".

GIT v1.5.4.3 Release Notes ==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.2 --------------------
* RPM spec used to pull in everything with 'git'. This has been changed so that 'git' package contains just the core parts, and we now supply 'git-all' metapackage to slurp in everything. This should match end user's expectation better.
* When some refs failed to update, git-push reported "failure" which was unclear if some other refs were updated or all of them failed atomically (the answer is the former). Reworded the message to clarify this.
* "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD was misconfigured did not set up the remote properly. Now it tries to do better.
* Updated git-push documentation to clarify what "matching" means, in order to reduce user confusion.
* Updated git-add documentation to clarify "add -u" operates in the current subdirectory you are in, just like other commands.
* git-gui updates to work on OSX and Windows better.
