That was a blunder of the (recent) past so I'd say it's OK to download
directly from SF.  Note that the Mac OS X build accessible from
git-scm.com, while being "officially blessed" is not prepared by the
upstream Git developers (as they only distribute the source code) but
rather this is a port coordinated there at that SF project you referred
to.

Well, I've just verified that what would be automacitally downloaded
has the same URL as that "download manually" link.
So you should be fine with the manual download.
