Well, you could just leave the path out and it should work fine anywhere, even if it is slightly less useful as-is.
Though I think the command tries to run sh anyway, so I think that feature does not work at all on Windows currently.
At the same time, /bin/sh is almost certainly a POSIX shell, so the command should indeed always work.
But either way the main point was that it was completely unclear what that sentence was supposed to mean, and we definitely shouldn't have that in the documentation.
