From: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@xxxxxxxxxx> When the environment variable $GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE is set __git_ps1() checks the presence of stashes by running 'git rev-parse --verify refs/stash'. This command not only checks that the 'refs/stash' ref exists but also, well, verifies that it's a valid ref. However, we don't need to be that thorough for the bash prompt. We can omit that verification and only check whether 'refs/stash' exists or not. Since 'git pack-refs' never packs 'refs/stash', it's a matter of checking the existence of a ref file. Perform this check using only bash builtins to spare the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git process.
