Detecting alternative paths for git

[ohhmm]

git.path property may offered to be updated with auto-detected values if none working git path appears there.

STR:

1. Install Visual Studio
2. Don't install git

Git is under Visual Studio installation path

But Visual Studio Code doesn't detect it

Sorry, but I'm not sure what issue you are having here. Can you please provide more details?

[ohhmm]

STR: Don't install git Install Visual Studio (not VScode)

Expected: VScode works with git path from Visual Studio, detected

Actual: Git features disabled

This seems like you're having problems with VSC's built-in git stuff rather than this extension? Either way, you'll need to manually set git.path to the executable shipped with Visual Studio, as that one isn't in any directory listed in your PATH environment variable.

[ohhmm]

I would think that the path of git supplied with Visual Studio should be taken if git is absent in PATH env var. This seem more expected
