Hi Caolan,
I am using version 1.7.1 and your suggestion of manually editing g, worked.
I ran into trouble with firewall and had to update .git/config to the http url. Make fetch finished 
successfully.
Thanks for your inputs.
Neeraj

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"
What's the output of git --version, I suppose its too old to have
"--local" so manually editing g to remove --local might work
