Description
I recently added code to the GitService to try to set global/system config values for the Trace2
settings (currently in addition to the env vars). If GitService is first, it might not find an installed
version of git to use to set those config variables.
If the VFS version of Git is installed first, then the GitService installer should be able to find it.
(This issue is a little more murky because different versions of Git (i.e. the VFS version and the
version pre-installed by MacOS) have different system config locations. The same goes for the
various Windows versions.)
