No. The current version of git in Debian is 1.5.2.1, a little out of date from the current 1.5.2.2 but not too bad. However, Debian Etch was already released with an older version of git. Debian testing/Lenny (the next release, which is still being developed) does not have the latest version of git yet because it is blocked waiting for the next version of curl as well as a few other problems.
