Critical security updates for Git, Subversion and Mercurial

I tried Chocolatey a while ago. Does it still install things all over the place by default? I with it could have some sort of install prefix, I'd use it then.

Edit: it seems to have one.

Yes, you need to know the command line switch for each package/installer separately to install in the proper place.

They have a switch to configure it once and have their tool figure out the right argument for each installer by itself, but it's only for paid users (~$96/year)

This is one benefit of scoop.sh - it's designed to isolate programs under your user profile, and not mess things up. A bit like using stow/xstow on gnu/bsd.
