GIT 0.99.9m aka 1.0rc5 is found at usual places:

	RPM
		http://kernel.org:/pub/software/scm/git/RPMS/

	Debian
		http://kernel.org:/pub/software/scm/git/debian/

Notable changes since 1.0rc4 are:

 - archimport updates.
 - gitk updates to work around Tcl/Tk i18n issues.
 - better portability to Solaris and AIX.
 - slimmed down update-server-info.
 - conflicting merge leaves higher stages in index around.
 - http-fetch does not fail to write refs in subdirectories.
 - git-prune cannot be made to lose referened objects by mistake anymore.
 - a lot of documentation fixes.

We are now feature complete and I am hoping that I can push the
same out sometime in the coming week tagged as v1.0, after
giving it some time to shake out any possible last-minute bugs.

Right now, proposed updates branch has sample patches for the
usage string clean-up from Fredrik Kuivinen for people to
comment on; it is not a complete series yet and makes some tests
fail.  I personally feel this series can and probably should
wait post 1.0.
