Failed to locate command: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'

Summary

The issue of 'git' not being automatically excluded has apparently regressed/reocurred, and so -- when the git command is not found, an error message is displayed when running ansible-lint --version.

I've just installed ansible-lint v6.10 (in a python:3-slim container) and see this error when running ansible-lint --version.

A similar / same symptom was previously addressed in #2641 / #2633 (reported for ansible-lint ver 6.8.4).

OS / ENVIRONMENT

$ ansible-lint --version

Failed to locate command: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'
ansible-lint 6.10.0 using ansible 2.13.7

Since the prior issue (#2641 in October) related to a "Fix pip version check", I'm including confirmation that a current version of pip is installed and running in this same container.

$ pip --version
pip 22.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

• ansible installation method: pip
• ansible-lint installation method: pip (pipenv)

It seems the same issue is present in ansible-lint v6.9.1 and v6.8.7

$ pip install 'ansible-lint==6.9.*'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

# Translated from the 'RUN' commands in my Dockerfile, as a non-root user (named ansible):

python -m pip install 'pip>=22'
pip install 'ansible>=6.0'
pip install 'ansible-lint>=6.0'

Desired Behavior

Unexpected / unnecesarry error messages are not shown when ansible-lint --version is run.

Actual Behavior

Unexpected / unnecesarry error messages are shown when ansible-lint --version is run.
