This was dead code. PreParseCommandLine was called only when tracing was enabled, which meant that the tracing itself was useless, as it was not tracing what the actual code was doing. I believe the intention of this tracing was to "guess" how the native commands on Windows *might* parse their command-line arguments, but the traced result was not guaranteed to be accurate. Since we cannot provide accurate tracing, the tracer was removed in its entirety. The PreParseCommandLine function was the only place where CommandLineToArgv was called, so with it removed, the entire native methods class here can be removed.
PowerShell
PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management platform, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built using the .NET Command-Line Interface. PowerShell provides full access to COM and WMI, enabling administrators to automate administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows, Linux, and OS X systems.

Downloading the Source Code
The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules. To make things easy, we can just clone recursively.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git
If you already cloned but forgot to use --recursive, you can update submodules manually:
git submodule init
git submodule update
See working with the PowerShell repository for more information.
