GIT 0.99.9j aka 1.0rc3 is found at usual places.

Notable change since 1.0rc2 are:

 - RPM packages has been split a bit differently [H. Peter
   Anvin].  Simon Richter asked me not to muck with debian
   packaging, so I take that Simon volunteered to update things
   to match what happened to RPM side.

 - On platforms and filesystems that can handle symlinks, you
   can now force symbolic refs by configuration item
   core.symrefsonly [Johannes Schindelin].

 - http-fetch is less leaky [Petr Baudis, Nick Hengeveld].

 - fsck-objects and refs tracking uses much less memory [Sergey
   Vlasov].

 - git wrapper is rewritten in C [Andreas Ericsson].

 - diff piped to patch inside a single repository is made binary
   safe [me]


There was a discussion to always use symrefs for .git/HEAD; this
will _not_ happen before 1.0.  It breaks too many exiting tools
without giving them enough advance notice.

The proposed updates branch has a couple of topics I consider
1.0 material.

 - git-log --since="two weeks ago", without using GNU date [Linus]
 - git-rebase to use "diff-piped-to-patch" [me]
 - git-branch -f to forcibly reset branch head [me]
