Hi Ed.
I know now what is causing the problem.
First, I noticed that it was not just the EGit repo, but also, rather worryingly with http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.7. For reference I'm attaching the full error log (running with -console -consoleLog -debug).
I ruled out a network issue because I tried on two different networks and got the same result.
The issue seems to be with user privileges. On macOS, aside from "standard" and "admin" users, there is a third kind: "managed". The error occurs on "managed" user accounts. As to why exactly that causes the error, what kind of restrictions does this "managed" account imposes on p2, I don't know. So I think one has to assume that Eclipse cannot be updated on "managed" accounts.
Thanks for your help.
