The Git Source Code Mirror on GitHub (https://github.com/git/git) says that the most recent version of Git is 2.7.4. I'm using EGit 3.5.2 on Spring Tool Suite (Eclipse Luna SR1), so that version number obviously doesn't correspond to a Git version. Is there any way to trace back what version of Git this version of EGit is based off of?
I checked here, but it only maps versions of EGit to versions of Eclipse...

As you noticed, EGit does not appear to be based on a particular version of Git. The EGit documentation has the following to say:
How compatible is EGit with Git?
Some, but not all configuration options/features in Git are available in EGit/JGit. Here is a summary, not yet complete describing some of these, including notable differences. Note that the set of EGit/JGit is not based off a particular Git version.
Practically speaking, as long as you are using the most recent version of Git, you should be OK. This is because Git itself should be backwards-compatible with whatever version of Git was concurrent with the particular release of EGit which you are using. But I would not recommend the other way around, e.g. using the first release of Git from many years ago with the latest EGit plugin.

There is no correlation between EGit and Git versions. EGit uses JGit, a pure Java implementation of the Git VCS, to access repositories. JGit versions do not follow a specific Git versions either. Though JGit is relatively on par with Git, some things are missing, for example git clone -- depth. Unfortunately, a detailed comparison does not exist
