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]
Here is the shortlog.
Alecs King:

      Documentation/git-log.txt: trivial typo fix.
Andreas Ericsson:

      git-daemon: --inetd implies --syslog

      C implementation of the 'git' program, take two.

      Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.

      git --help COMMAND brings up the git-COMMAND man-page.

      daemon.c: fix arg parsing bugs
H. Peter Anvin:

      git-core-foo -> git-foo, except the core package
Johannes Schindelin:

      Add config variable core.symrefsonly

      Fix tests with new git in C

      Give python a chance to find "backported" modules
Jonas Fonseca:

      Fix git(1) link to git-index-pack
Junio C Hamano:

      Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.

      diff: make default rename detection limit configurable.

      sha1_file.c::add_packed_git(): fix ty...

We use the full tarball to build git in Gentoo Linux, are you planning

to provide it ? Or from now on you won't provide the full tarball ?
It is not a big problem since I can download it from git, but hey, it is

always easier to use the sources provided by upstream for us.
Thanks

No, it was a fallout from RPM renaming.  I'll fix up the release

script.
Thanks for letting me know.
