It's been a week and a half, and here comes the -rc3

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  testing/git-*-1.5.0-rc3-1.$arch.rpm		(RPM)

Hopefully this will be the last -rc before the final 1.5.0.

This contains the "git user's manual" by J. Bruce Fields.  While
it still has its own "To Do" section, it has already been in a
very good shape for some time, giving information with coherence
and guiding a new user in a carefully chosen order of topics
into much more pleasant git experience than before.
