Yes, knowing how deeply Junio cares about backwards compatability, there will have been no backwards-incompatible changes to the repository format (none at all actually, IIRC) since 1.7.0 was released.

You should read the following documents that are in git.git:

Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.1.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.2.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.3.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.5.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.6.txt

And make sure that none of the changes mentioned there will affect you negatively.
