A moonbase.git prompt

[Stefan Wold]

There is a simpler way actually, git module already provide a set of git
bash functions: simply add this to your PS1 and you're set:

\$(__git_ps1 ' (%s)') example: PS1="\u@\h \w \$(__git_ps1 ' (%s)')\\$ "

As soon as you step into a git directory the current branch will popup
as (master) in your prompt. It will also detect som other stuff as on
going merges, bisect etc etc.
