Lots of changes, the most visible of which is:
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk" and
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.

This update brings in OPTIONS for GUI tools (on) and dependencies to make
the SVN tools work (off). It also should handle the openssl dependency
correctly now. Both of these changes are variations I made on the PR
submissions for those changes.

This brings some major UI improvements which may surprise users accustomed to
the strange old behavior. The 1.5.0 release notes in the tarball cover those
changes, and are recommended reading for current git users.
This version may expose bugs in curl resulting in crashes when using the http
transport. I decided it was more important to get these UI changes out in
our packages than to worry about the http transport, which is generally not
desired anyway.
