Description: Provides a mechanism to set a path to bash to use on Windows for executing commit hook commands. If none is set, the default behavior should be to prefer Git Bash from Git for Windows. If a user is running in Windows, they probably are using Git for Windows, which includes Git Bash and should be associated with the configured Git command set in refresh(). Search first for Git Bash relative to the configured Git command, and, if it exists, use it. Otherwise, fail back to the hardcoded default of "bash.exe". The original "default" bash without a path assumes that bash.exe is on the PATH. If a user chose not to make MSYS2 tools available on the PATH on Git for Windows install, another method must be used to find that bash if it should be preferred over one found on the PATH. Newer versions of Windows include a bash.exe in System32 that is then found by default, but this bash.exe is intended for use with WSL. If a user intended to invoke git in WSL, presumably this package would have been installed there and not registered as "Windows" and reduces the ambiguity. In most cases where running the python in "native" Windows, then, it is undesirable to invoke the WSL Bash that is not associated with the Git for Windows install. Furthermore, direct access to bash.exe in System32 is reportedly deprecated in lieu of commands that explicitly invoke WSL. This addresses issues where git hooks are intended to run assuming the "native" Windows environment as seen by git.exe rather than inside the git sandbox of WSL, which is likely configured independently of the Windows Git as well. A noteworthy example are repos with Git LFS, where Git LFS may be installed in Windows but not in WSL, causing commit hooks for LFS to fail despite being installed alongside the configured Git command in this package.
