[PATCH v5 2/2] git-prompt.sh: Option to hide prompt for ignored pwd

From: Jess Austin <jess.austin@gmail.com>

Optionally set __git_ps1 to display nothing when present working directory is ignored, triggered by the new environmental variable GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED. This environmental variable may be overridden on any repository by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to "false". In the absence of GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED this change has no effect.

Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git. This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.
