That commit has been merged to maint and is in v1.9.3.

Also, 1e4119c (git-prompt.sh: don't assume the shell expands the value of PS1) is a fix that is in v2.0.0-rc4 but not v1.9.x. Maybe add something like:

 * The shell prompt script (in contrib/), when using Zsh and the
   precmd() interface, printed ${__git_ps1_branch_name} in the prompt
   instead of the branch name (regression in v1.9.3).
   (merge 1e4119c rh/prompt-pcmode-avoid-eval-on-refname later to
   maint).
