Subject: [PATCH 11/19] bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out current branch
Date: Wed,  9 May 2012 02:44:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336524290-30023-12-git-send-email-szeder@ira.uka.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336524290-30023-1-git-send-email-szeder@ira.uka.de>

__git_ps1() runs the '$(git symbolic-ref HEAD)' command substitution
to find out whether we are on a branch and to find out the name of
that branch.  This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell and
fork()+exec()ing a git process.

Since HEAD is a single-line file and the symbolic ref format is quite
simple to recognize and parse, read and parse it using only bash
builtins, thereby sparing all that fork()+exec() overhead.
