Unless installing from the source is an option, you are at the mercy
of your distro packagers.
But it shouldn't be hard if you are on a mainstream platforms (any
recent Linux certainly qualifies) to build and install from the
source.
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL
Using "make --prefix=$HOME/gitstuff install install-doc" and adding
"$HOME/gitstuff/bin" early in the $PATH would let you use the one
that you built, without uninstalling what came from the distro
(typically in /usr/bin).
