Huh, our EGit update sites no longer have a site.xml file, and are
instead returning an HTML error page with "404 Not Found" message
on them.

Chris, any idea what's going on?

I checked our download site using Eclipse Provisioning Admin UI and this finds all the

p2 metadata it expects so it doesn't look broken from p2 perspective (don't know what this tool

covers in detail). 

I downloaded Zend Studio and will try to reproduce Steven's problem.

I installed Zend Studio 7.2 and then installed egit 0.7.1 from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates

via "Help > Install new software" and everything worked as expected (see attached screenshot). 

I could create a fresh git repository for the sample project, do a commit and view it in the history view. 

So it looks like this is a problem on Steven's end.
