During an ongoing interactive rebase __git_ps1() finds out the name of the rebased branch, the total number of patches and the number of the current patch by executing a '$(cat .git/rebase-merge/<FILE>)' command substitution for each. That is not quite the most efficient way to read single line single word files, because it imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell and fork()+exec()ing 'cat' several times. Use the 'read' bash builtin instead to avoid those overheads.
