Perhaps.

I think this line and the two changes to printf below is a big improvement
(unless we are using f for something else---I didn't look).  But I think
the next line is wrong.

> +		f=${f:+ $f}

The $r string is designed to be used as suffix from the beginning and
always has "|" in front of it as a delimiter, so if there is no w/i/s/u
(and I suspect many people do not use GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE and friends,
and these are _always_ empty for them) the above will begin with "|".
There is no need to steal one column from a typeable width from the
command line in such a case.

To implement your stated goal (dirty/stash/untracked), you probably want
to do this instead...

	local f="$w$i$s$u"
        f="${f:+ $f}$r"
