It is well worth reading the LGPLv3 in this regard;
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
Section 6. covers this - and yes; it should be adequate to point at the
git repositories at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/
though it is clearly preferable to distribute the source code on the
media as well; since that ends your section 6. liability.

Freedesktop has been around for a long time, and I expect it to
continue for the forseeable future.
