Title: Correctly identify latest stable git version

Maintenance releases for version n-1 and n-2 can have later dates than
the latest stable n, so they're not a good way to determine the latest
release. The latest release should be calculated using the version
number alone.

git-scm.com now shows 1.7.6.6 as the latest stable even though it's 1.7.9.
