The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.2.5 is available at the
usual places:

Although 1.5.3 has been in -rc cycle for quite some time, there
was a rather nasty data corruption bug discovered, so here is
primarily to push that fix out.
When "git add -u $paths" records ONLY removes in a directory,
your next "git write-tree" will write out a bogus tree object
and cause your commit not to match the reality.
GIT v1.5.2.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.2.4
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- "git add -u" had a serious data corruption problem in one
special case (when the changes to a subdirectory's files
consist only deletion of files).
- "git add -u <path>" did not work from a subdirectory.
- "git apply" left an empty directory after all its files are
renamed away.
- "git $anycmd foo/bar", when there is a file 'foo' in the
working tree, complained that "git $anycmd foo/bar --" form
should be used to disambiguate between revs and files,
which was completely bogus.
- "git checkout-index" and other commands that checks out
files to the work tree tried unlink(2) on directories,
which is a sane thing to do on sane systems, but not on
Solaris when you are root.
* Documentation Fixes and Updates
- A handful documentation fixes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
