On Windows10, python-GitPython fails with the error message below.

First I added git.exe's folder to PATH env var, and the build succeeded.
However, when I tried to build again simply opening Slicer.sln file in Visual Studio (without adding git.exe's folder to PATH env var), then I got the error message below.

In general, in Windows it is not safe to add the folder of any applications, tools, or utilities to the PATH environment variable globally, so it would be really bad if Slicer build would require something like this. It should be possible to set git.exe path through CMake (and only once, when configuring the project).

On Windows10, python-GitPython fails with the error message below. git folder is in the PATH (but it should not be required anyway).

Slicer build completes and Slicer runs anyway.
