Critical security updates for Git, Subversion and Mercurial

Thanks for getting off-topic. These seem useful... until WSL becomes more mainstream.

Part of my workflow involves using ncat.exe to use git over a socks/ssh proxy. A real pain. I noticed scoop has nc but not ncat.

I find `bash -c blablabla` works great for invoking the occasional Linux commands without moving to WSL entirely.

(Actually I used to run all devtools, eg git and webpack I etc etc on WSL entirely but it still has too many quirks. Moved back to plain Windows recently and I'm happier)

Being on MS-DOS since 3.3, and being introduced to UNIX via Xenix, I have found out through the years that the best way is just to use the native CLI of each platform.

For stuff that needs to run everywhere and I don't feel like writing two versions of scripts, I just use Python.
