Where can I find fixed git-related binaries without having to build from source myself? (Sorry, I'm lazy)

On Mac OS X, from Homebrew. The bug doesn't seem to affect Linux (most Linux file systems are case sensitive). I'm not sure about for Windows.

  Definitely affects Windows. Git for Windows users should update to 1.9.5 immediately. https://msysgit.github.io/ https://msysgit.github.io/

Wow downvoting because I ask for binaries instead of source? Majority of people reading this want a fast, immediate solution from a trustworthy source. edit: obvious places still haven't updated. git-scm still provides 6-month-old binaries

  git-scm does not seem to be a reliable source anymore. For Windows, go directly here: https://msysgit.github.io/ https://msysgit.github.io/

    Please point to git binaries within the Github.com blog post. There are binaries for Github for Mac/Win, not git proper. I only found source code tarballs on Kernel.org, not binaries.

The announcement includes several links to binaries. Is there one you need that's missing?

    It also includes a link to msysgit for Windows. If you need some type of binary not listed, it would help if you mention what type of binaries you need.

      Fair point. I was looking for Mac binaries. Homebrew ending up being the quickest way to upgrade git, as much as I dislike using Homebrew :)

        Ah, got it. I hadn't noticed the lack of a Mac binary link in the post.

on OSX `brew upgrade git` was enough for me

  You may have to do these first: sudo mv /usr/bin/git ~/.Trash/git_mac_old brew update
