This should solve the issue #830 : Issue with devtools/remotes for RemoteType "git"

The RemoteType "git" is now handled like an "xgit" remote type. Therefore git packages installed with pak are now recognised and no error message "can't convert package... to remote" is triggered anymore. I don't think that would create any border effect but I don't really know if "git" RemoteType created by pak must be handled as an "xgit" RemoteType in all cases.

Anyway that's solves my case of package dependencies hosted on private gitlab repositories.
