Answer 1

It looks like you're using an older version of Git, which does not have the --local option.

According to this question the --local option was introduced in v1.7.4 in late 2010.

Please verify that the version of Git you're using on the server is more recent than at least v1.7.4, then try again. You can verify that using git --version, or git help config, then check whether the help contains a reference to the --local option.
