The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.2.1 is available at the usual places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
  git-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.2.1-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)
This release is primarily for these two fixes:
 * git-mv was broken.  Notably, this did not work:
	git-mv foo foo-renamed
 * git-http-fetch failed to follow objects/info/alternates on
   the remote side.  This broke a fetch from Paul's powerpc.git
   repository.

I have built i386 and x86_64 RPM this time, since the machine I do the former has become available again.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v1.4.2 are as follows:
Dennis Stosberg:

      git-mv: add more path normalization
      git-mv: special case destination "."
      git-mv: fix off-by-one error
      builtin-mv: readability patch
Junio C Hamano:
      finish_connect(): thinkofix
      http-fetch: fix alternates handling.
