Command Line Feedback from RVM and Git

I'm using something similar, but ran into a problem recently: go into a detached head mode (`git checkout HEAD^`). ALL your branches (local and remote) are spat out into your PS1. It's rare enough that I haven't looked into fixing it, but have any suggestions?

My suggestion is to use something more like this (provided by Git's bash-completion):

    branch=$(__git_ps1 "%s")

That doesn't have any problem with detached head: http://cl.ly/8yN8

ooh, very nice. Prior to this & your other reply, I hadn't seen anything using the __git functions. Everyone uses sed. Thanks!
