These patches are about the characters and words that can be configured to display in the PS1 prompt after the branch name. I've been unable to find a consistent terminology. I refer to them as follows: [short | long] [type] state indicator where short is for characters (e.g. ?), long is for words (e.g. |SPARSE), and type is the type of indicator (e.g. sparse or upstream). I'd be happy to change the commit messages to a different terminology if that's preferred. There are a few inconsistencies with the PS1 prompt upstream state indicator (GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM). * With GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="auto", if there are no other short state indicators (e.g. + for staged changes, $ for stashed changes, etc.), the upstream state indicator appears adjacent to the branch name (e.g. (main=)) instead of being separated by SP or GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR (e.g. (main =)). * If there are long state indicators (e.g. |SPARSE), a short upstream state indicator (i.e. GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="auto") is to the right of the long state indicator (e.g. (main +|SPARSE=)) instead of with the other short state indicators (e.g. (main +=|SPARSE)). * The long upstream state indicator (e.g. GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="verbose") is separated from other (short or long) state indicators by a hard-coded SP. Other long state indicators are separated by a hard-coded pipe (|). These patches are to make the upstream state indicators more consistent with other state indicators.
