Creating 'New Project From Example' fails with message 'Failed to setup example'

[pointy56]

Having installed the 'pico' extension (v0.16.2) into VSCode 1.93.1 the icons for both the Raspberry Pi Pico project and the MicroPico Device Controller can be seen in the left-hand toolbar.
I select 'New Project From Example' from the Pi Pico Quick Access menu, then 'blink' and Pico, leaving the other settings to default.
When I click 'Create' the extension issues the message 'Failed to setup example' - no other details seem to be available, but I am happy to provide any other information that you may require to investigate further.
I have tried on another system running the same version of VSCode and the new project is created successfully.

Do you have a version of git already installed, and if so what version is it? By default the extension downloads its own version of Git on Windows, but if you have a pre-existing version it will use that, however it requires a minimum git version of 2.28

I've just checked - the system that I'm having the problem with does indeed have git pre-installed, a very old version (2.10.1) - I guess it's not causing problems for anything else I use otherwise I would have updated it.
I'm happy to leave this version in-place for the time being if you would like to test a fix that handles this problem better.

This should be fixed with #93 - could you give that PR a go if you still have the old git on your system? No worries if not, I can test it myself too

You can download the .vsix file for that PR from https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-vscode/actions/runs/11014326181?pr=93

Worked perfectly, thank you!
