14 DAY TRIAL // Git 1.9, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, is now available for download.
The new Git 1.9.x branch continues the trend of large releases, integrating a big number of changes and fixes. The final version comes with a lot of features from the previous release candidates.
According to the developers, the HTTP transport, when talking GSS-Negotiate, uses "100 Continue" response to avoid having to rewind and resend a large payload, and various bugfixes to remote-bzr and remote-hg have been implemented.
Also, fetching from a shallowly-cloned repository used to be forbidden, but it has been corrected, two-level configuration variable names in "branch.*" and "remote.*" hierarchies have been fixed, and the "--tags" option to "git fetch" no longer tells the command to fetch _only_ the tags
