“Git 1.7.1 was released on Saturday, 24 Apr 2010. It’s
available in my Ubuntu repository for Ubuntu Jaunty and Ubuntu
Karmic.

“Here are the release notes for Git 1.7.1

“Updates since v1.7.0
——————–

* Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in
contrib/.
* gitk updates.
* Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
ask for a password can be told to use an external program given via
GIT_ASKPASS.
* Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style
output now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party
tools that expect one.
* Comes with an updated bash-completion script.”
