• Blocked by Negative Dependencies winget-cli#3007

[YehezkelShB]

Give #175501, I'd expect that today this isn't an issue anymore as winget detects Git.Git as installed when Microsoft.Git is installed. Of course, if the other bug is fixed, this will become a problem again

[YehezkelShB]

I'm not sure why microsoft/winget-cli#3007 is a blocker. It might give a clearer error message, but won't solve the issue here as much as I can see. The solution to this issue seems to be to have GitExtensionsTeam.GitExtensions declaring Microsoft.Git as an alternative dependency instead of Git.Git, or if Microsoft.Git can declare that it is an alternative to Git.Git (which might be part of what Negative Dependencies will implement eventually but it isn't mentioned there right now)
