Oooops! I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (just done apt-get update/upgrade) and my git version is 1.9.1 ...

On Ubuntu, you can get the latest version via:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install git
  git --version
Note that this is at "git version 2.5.0"

This updated Git for Windows project brings that same version to Windows.
