OT: git prompt

[meik michalke]

hi,

call me ignorant, but i only just found out about git-prompt.sh[*] and find it 
super useful. on debian/ubuntu you should be able to source it like this:

 source /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt

and add it to your prompt:

 PS1='\u@\h \w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)") $ '

then cd into a git repository -- the bash prompt should now show the current 
branch you're in. there's some more options you can activate by environment 
variables:

 export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1
 export GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE=1
 export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=1
 export GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="legacy verbose git"

this will then add more useful information like hom many commits you are 
behind/ahead of upstream or whether there's uncommited changed files.
