[libreoffice-dev] - trouble with building libreoffice 4.0 from source

Hi ,

I am trying to build libreoffice preview release 4.0.0 RC1 from source but having some trouble with 
"make fetch" and need some advice.

It fails on cmd : git config --local --get submodule.dictionaries.url
Complaining that "local is not a valid option"

I cloned the git repo based on "building from source guide"
        git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/core.git
        git checkout libreoffice-4.0  # switch to 4.0.0
## auto gen succeeds
./autogen.sh  --prefix=/work/loc1/libreoffice-4.0 --without-junit --enable-debug

# the following fails at "./g -f clone"
make fetch

The output of bash script "g" with set -x is attached below

Thanks
Neeraj
bash -x g -f clone
