Upgrading to Git 1.5.3.1 Edit

Created 9/4/2007, updated 10/14/2017

I performed the upgrade to Git 1.5.3.1 on two different machines, each using a different technique:

Upgrading via a tarball; see "Upgrading to Git 1.5.3.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux".
Upgrading using a local Git repository; see: "Upgrading to Git 1.5.3.1 on Mac OS X Tiger".
