Probably. :)

I don't know much about what has been packaged for CentOS 6.5, but you
can certainly build the latest version of git from source. You can get
tarballs at:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

Or you can just clone the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

If you are asking "can I upgrade to v2.7 and still use my existing
repositories?", then the answer is yes, everything should continue to
work, and you can fetch and push between servers running arbitrary git
versions.

You may want to look at the release notes in Documentation/RelNotes, as
some of the defaults have changed (especially around the v2.0 release).
