CentOS 6.7 or Debian 6 with default git version shipped with those systems
The authentication changes in git client plugin 1.19.2 (fc965beb) and possibly 1.6.2 (76ed5522), now cause older git versions to report a config failure due to the unrecognized argument "--local".
Those git versions are not supported in the git client plugin (because they are too old, they don't have the necessary authentication features), but it would be better to give a clean error message rather than reporting an exception because a command line argument is not recognized.
The failure that is reported on CentOS 6.7 is:
ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'
