The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.3.1 is available at the usual places:

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

  git-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(source tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.3.1-1.fc9.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

Embarrasingly 1.6.3 has a rather grave regression when you switch to a new branch while you have some changes added to the index. A commit you make from that index will record a wrong tree. Please consider this a hotfix and do not use vanilla 1.6.3.

Alex Riesen (1):
      Clarify kind of conflict in merge-one-file helper
