Git plugin 3.9.x does not mandate Java 8 of itself. The git plugin 3.9.x compile environment checks that the generated byte code is only Java 7. However, as you have discovered, that does not check that all its dependencies only require Java 7.
I think you're stuck performing a search through the git plugin history to locate a version that does not include any dependencies on a Java 8 component.
