I currently have Git 1.7.1.0 installed but need to upgrade to 1.7.1.1 (at least). I tried running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and also tried

sudo apt-get install git-core

but each time I get a message indicating that there is no later version of git available. I have the following software sources configured in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ubunturepo.de.bonial.lan lucid main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://ubunturepo.de.bonial.lan lucid-security main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://ubunturepo.de.bonial.lan lucid-updates main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu lucid main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid multiverse universe

To install the latest stable from command line...

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

This should let you install 1.8.2-1~ppa0~lucid2.
