Sorry for such a stupid question, - but how to install that, what should I donwload, please.

No questions are stupid,

here is what I think that you have to do, You said that you are on 10.04 so there is a ppa that you can use but it is only up to 1:1.7.10-0
and not
1:1.7.12-0

to add this ppa to your system

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:voronov84/andreyv
then

sudo apt-get update
then if you already have git installed just upgrade it.

sudo apt-get upgrade
If it is not installed

sudo apt-get install git

that should get you up to

1:1.7.10-0



you could always search launchpad for a newer ppa
example google
"ubuntu launchpad git 1:1.7.12"
