Seems like a good idea to me.

Please add some new tests in t/9903-bash-prompt.sh.  In particular:
  * upstream ref in refs/heads
  * upstream is git-svn
  * branch names containing slashes

To avoid colliding with other stuff, this variable should either be
local or prefixed with '__git_ps1'.

This comparison breaks on branches containing a slash (e.g., foo/bar).

Also, how does this interact with git-svn?  (I don't use git-svn so I'm
not very familiar with how it manages refs.)

Assuming remote names can't contain a slash (which I think is true), a
safer approach might be parse the full ref and special-case refs/remotes:

    __git_ps1_upstream_name=$(git rev-parse \
        --abbrev-ref "${upstream}" 2>/dev/null)
    local tmp
    tmp=$(git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name "${upstream}" 2>/dev/null)
    case ${tmp} in
    refs/remotes/*)
        # todo: can ${b} be something other than refs/heads/* here?
        [ "${__git_ps1_upstream_name#*/}" != "${b#refs/heads/}" ] \
            || __git_ps1_upstream_name=${__git_ps1_upstream_name%%/*}/\=
        ;;
    esac

Additional cases could be added to handle git-svn if needed.

  * This could break if ${__head} contains any pattern-special
    characters.

  * While this syntax works in both Bash and Zsh (assuming no
    pattern-special characters), my preference is to stick to POSIX[1]
    when possible.  For example, assuming the upstream name is
    always in refs/remotes (which is not true, but this is an example)
    and remote names can't contain a '/', you could do this:

        __git_ps1_upstream_name=${__git_ps1_upstream_name%%/*}/\=

  * I don't think the CodingGuidelines explicitly prohibit long lines
    for shell code, and this file already contains plenty of long
    lines, but I really dislike lines longer than 80 characters.
