Disable path conversion for Git Bash

• I have read through the manual page (man fzf)
• I have the latest version of fzf
• I have searched through the existing issues

Problem / Steps to reproduce

It's the vim integration.

1. Use the most recent Git for Windows (2.26.0)
2. Type :FZF<CR> in Vim
3. No new window of cmd.exe is started, and the window for vim itself would enter cmd.exe.

Seems the bash contained in Git for Windows is tranlating the /C arg for cmd.exe as a path (probably to C:\). The following patch would help (according to this)

diff --git a/plugin/fzf.vim b/plugin/fzf.vim
index a84dcab..26dcaca 100644
--- a/plugin/fzf.vim

     let a:temps.shellscript = shellscript
   endif
   if a:use_height

While MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 is one solution, why prefer it over doubling the first slash as alternatively proposed ?
