From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

While debugging something else, I was quite puzzled to see that
`prepare_shell_cmd()` duplicates the command before sending to sh, like:
    sh -c "git-upload-pack '../testrepo/.git'" "git-upload-pack '../testrepo/.git'"

A Windows programmer myself, initially I thought that it's a bug.

Add a clarifying comment.
