The patch text is good, but since it will not make a difference (and there 
are a ton of other places that use /bin/sh successfully), the change is 
not warrented at this time, IMO.

Well, the test will break on Windows only after "run-command: optimize out 
useless shell calls", and I wrote the commit message accordingly. If you 
move it before that one (and if you are picky) the commit message should 
be changed as well.
