That changes behaviour and makes people who like the current output
unhappy, no? For example, I have
PS1=': \h \W$(__git_ps1 "/%s"); '
and from it I get these output:
: host git.git/master;
: host git.git/(v1.7.5-rc3);
: host git.git/(63e4ee5...);
I do like the fact that the tagname v1.7.5-rc3 is parenthesized---it makes
it very clear that I am not on any branch while being detached.
Of course that is _my_ personal taste, but I wonder if you can remove the
parentheses by changing the way you use __git_ps1 in your PS1 definition.
