Yeah, when I first coded it I even looked at making it a bash loadable
to make it perform better but found the prototype to run acceptably,
so never bothered.   If Git does get a --show-ps1 option, people will
still be able to roll their own version to tweak the output format
as you did above.  Hopefully the standard format will work for most
though.
