Version 2.0.2 caused that global config of VSC git client is ignored

[josch83]

Describe the bug.

It was a struggle to narrow down the cause. Suddenly the git client stopped working because the user information and other configurations such as SSL were no longer known. A check of the global git configuration in the terminal showed that the configuration was still there. Deactivating the VSC extensions one after the other showed that the ".NET Install Tool" was the cause. Rolling back to version 2.0.1 fixed my problems.

I have no idea how this could happen with this extension, which has no obvious relation to Git.

Please attach log file(s) here if you have any.

Reproduction Steps

I did not check it on other environments, such I don't know if its reproducible.

1. Clone a git repo in a terminal. In my case one with an invalid SSL certificate. Ensure that user name an email are configured in global config. Disable SSL validation globally if applicable (and undo it after the testing, of course).
2. Open repo in VSC with extension installed (version 2.0.2)
3. Try to fetch (SSL validation error) or commit changes (missing user email)

Expected Behavior

This extension should have no impact to git.
