Actually, yes and no. Yes the file is indeed versionned, but it is possible
to "override" those URL locally in the file .git/config. So it would be
possible to point to a local mirror of submodules. But it must be done for
each local clone of TYPO3 Core which probably is not convenient... at
all... but at least you have no forking, thus no conflicts.

This "overriding" mechanism is one of the reason "git submodule sync"
exists (see the man
page<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html>
)
