Are there potential problems when updating to newer versions of git?

I'm running OS X 10.9.4.

Currently git --version says git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47) is installed.

I'm going to start using GitHub, and on one of there pages (https://training.github.com/articles/github-class-prerequisites/) they recommend updating to at least version 1.8.4.

Can I update to newer version without concern?

I would say it's safe to say you can update to a newer version without concern. They're pretty careful about things like this and definitely wouldn't release a breaking change without making it obvious.
