Upgrading to Git 1.5.5.3Edit

As Git 1.5.5.3 is a very minor update from 1.5.5.2 without much impact, I only installed it on my local machine running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 and didn't bother with an update on my remote (RHEL 5) machine. See Upgrading to Git 1.5.5.2 for an example of a more comprehensive upgrade, with info on setting up Git aliases, ensuring you have the correct documentation build chain, and updating your Bash completion and gitweb installations.

git fetch
git st
git tag -v v1.5.5.3
git co v1.5.5.3
make clean
make prefix=/usr/local test doc && sudo make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc

Note: git st and git co are aliases for git status and git checkout respectively.
