Export Repositories

When exporting repositories if the default file name is changed and the new name does not provide an extension, xml is not used by default which means the exported file will not appear in an import dialog.  I believe the typical expectation is that the default extension type is used unless the user changes the type to the drop down.  As example, on Windows if a file is saved in notepad if an extension is not provided then 'txt' is used unless the user changes the save type to All Files.

This patch sets the filter extensions on the Export dialog which results in the same behaviour.
