Actually, I deeply regret merging this to 'master'.  The original
"as a command substitution in PS1" mode, you could add anything
around the status string, so I could do:

	PS1=': \h \W$(__git_ps1 "/%s"); '

to get something like:

	: hostname dirname/<STATUS>; <CURSOR HERE>

In the new PROMPT_COMMAND mode, there is always parentheses around
the status string (and an SP before the parenthesees) that the user
cannot get rid of.

This is not a usability regression per-se (if you do not like the
extra parentheses, you do not have to use the colored mode), but is
something that will make me never use the mode.

Can we make it take an optional third parameter so that we could say

	PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 ": \h \W" "; " "/%s"'

to do the same as what the command substitution mode would have
given for

	PS1=': \h \W$(__git_ps1 "/%s"); '

perhaps?

Totally untested, but perhaps along this line.
