There is this gem in the completion script:

#    3) Consider changing your PS1 to also show the current branch:
#        PS1='[\u@\h \W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '

With this, you will see something like:

    [junio@alter git.git (master|AM)]$ 

as your prompt while you are working to fix corrupt patch you tried but
failed to apply.
