Problem resolved: When running git, typing "git version" returned 2.8.2. I was indeed running 2.8.2. However, when I tried to determine the location of my git executable (I'm on a large system with lots of users and software), I used "whereis git" on the Linux command line. This returned a path to an incorrect version of the executable (which was older than 1.7.5). This is the path that I specified to the CodeCollaborator client. Using "which git" on the Linux command line returned the correct path to the 2.8.2 version. When I specified this path to the client, all was good. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. To the powers that be: feel free to remove this message if possible.
