Subject: [PATCH] Improve bash prompt to detect various states like an unfinished merge

This patch makes the git prompt (when enabled) show if a merge or a rebase is unfinished. It also detects if a bisect is being done as well as detached checkouts.

An uncompleted git-am cannot be distinguised from a rebase (the non-interactive version). Instead of having an even longer prompt we simply ignore that and hope the power users that use git-am knows the difference.
