Version 1.9 of the Git distributed revision control system was released a few days ago and can be downloaded from the website

Git 1.9 begins aligning planned changes for Git 2.0., there’s several new Git sub-commands and options, performance improvements, and many fixes over Git 1.8.x.

Various bugfixes have been implemented to remote-bzr and remote-hg, the build procedure is now aware of MirBSD, and a number of “git p4,” “git svn,” and “gitk” updates have been added.

Also, two-level configuration variable names in “branch.*” and “remote.*” hierarchies, whose variables are predominantly three-level, are now working properly.

Looks like the command git fetch –tags is acting a bit different now, but I need time to have a closer look.
