Gah! This adds a fork+exec each time the prompt is shown. Not good, particularly on Windows.
Since your intent is to disable the prompt in the home directory, wouldn't that mean that most of the time you *don't* want the prompt? Wouldn't you be better served with a method that *turns on* the prompt? For example, a shell function that sets PS1 and another one that unsets it? Or a wrapper that inspects a shell variable and calls __git_ps1 only when you want a prompt.
