The latest maintenance release GIT 1.1.5 is available at the usual places:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
git-1.1.5.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.1.5-1.$arch.rpm (RPM)
Mark Wooding noticed that there is a bug in git-checkout-index to overflow its internal buffer, if you construct a blob that records an insanely long symbolic link in your index file and try to check it out. This makes it dump core or worse.
The fix for this problem is the only change from v1.1.4. The master branch has been updated with the same fix (so has "pu").
---
By the way, "dump core or worse" is a subtle way to say that this is a security fix. To be victimized, you have to somehow first get such a bogus symbolic link in your index. Merging with somebody of dubious trustworthiness is a way to do so; please practice safe merge ;-).
