That is not so easy - am still running ubuntu dapper.
Dapper official only has git 1.4.4. Trying to install the 1.5.4-debs 
from the git-homepage gave dependency problems (libc6 and 
libcurl3-gnutls). Building the git sources works fine, but when I make 
install the installation ends with

make[1]: Går til katalog '/tmp/git-1.5.3/perl'
make[2]: Går til katalog '/tmp/git-1.5.3/perl'
mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7: File exists at 
/usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112
make[2]: *** [pure_site_install] Fejl 17
make[2]: Forlader katalog '/tmp/git-1.5.3/perl'
make[1]: *** [install] Fejl 2
make[1]: Forlader katalog '/tmp/git-1.5.3/perl'

git seems to be installed nevertheless, but if I try to git pull, then I get

fatal: Fetch failure: git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git

I had problems with the edgy cd - not booting on my mashine - so I 
stayed with dapper. Haven't tried the newer dists.
