[Paraview] Error: git submodule update

[Grant Mc Auley]

Ok, I tried a different approach that seemed to work:

1) I modified my global .gitconfig with lines like this (as per
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Git/Trouble#Firewall_Blocks_Port_9418):

[url "http://paraview.org/ParaView.git"]
insteadOf = git://paraview.org/ParaView.git

[url "http://vtk.org/VTK.git"]
insteadOf = git://vtk.org/VTK.git

[url "http://paraview.org/VisItBridge.git"]
insteadOf = git://paraview.org/VisItBridge.git

[url "http://public.kitware.com/protobuf.git"]
insteadOf = git://public.kitware.com/protobuf.git

[url "http://paraview.org/QtTesting.git"]
insteadOf = git://paraview.org/QtTesting.git

2) and then, ran git clone --recursive git://paraview.org/ParaView.git (as
per http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Git/Download#Clone).

It ultimately failed:
zzz at zzz:~/code$ git clone --recursive git://paraview.org/ParaView.gitparaview4

3) But then I realized that I forgot to put this in the .gitconfig file:

[url "http://paraview.org/IceT.git"]
insteadOf = git://paraview.org/IceT.git

4) Then ran git submodule update and it seemed to work:
