Get-ProjectName fails when alias git exists #136

Description

@peetrike

When there is defined alias with name git, the Get-ProjectName command (called without parameters) emits following error message:

The variable cannot be validated because the value $null is not a valid value for the GitPath variable.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\BuildHelpers\2.0.16\Public\Get-ProjectName.ps1:57 char:9
+         $GitPath = (Get-Command $GitPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinu ...
+         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The command itself works despite the error above.

The error could be avoided when $GitPath variable contains string git.exe or when the get-command has parameter -CommandType Application added at:
