Summary	0004618: Extension Wizard should give more informative error message about git requirement
Description	Extension Wizard apparently requires git from Xcode developer tools, and fails to load with the backtrace below (Additional Information). The module does not load at all, so the only explanation is in the Error Log, which is confusing to an inexperienced developer looking for the wizard. We first tried to install git for mac from git-scm.org, but that failed.
Steps To Reproduce	Run Slicer on a computer without Xcode command line tools installed
Additional Information	`External Email - Use Caution` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/../lib/Slicer-4.9/qt-scripted-modules/ExtensionWizard.py", line 7, in <module> import SlicerWizard.ExtensionDescription File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/SlicerWizard/init.py", line 42, in <module> from .ExtensionDescription import ExtensionDescription File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/SlicerWizard/ExtensionDescription.py", line 6, in <module> from .ExtensionProject import ExtensionProject File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/SlicerWizard/ExtensionProject.py", line 6, in <module> from .Utilities import detectEncoding File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/SlicerWizard/Utilities.py", line 10, in <module> import git File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/init.py", line 82, in <module> refresh() File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/init.py", line 73, in refresh if not Git.refresh(path=path): File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 230, in refresh cls().version() File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 551, in <lambda> return lambda args, kwargs: self._call_process(name, args, kwargs) File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 1010, in _call_process return self.execute(call, exec_kwargs) File "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 821, in execute raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value, stdout_value) git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(1) cmdline: git version stderr: 'xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', requesting install.
