Actually, "sudo zypper install git" does install the correct script
at /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-prompt.sh

Additionally, that "git" package adds /etc/bash-completion.d/git-prompt
which does source this script automatically on shell startup, therefore
step 4 (the curl thing) is not required, and git-prompt.sh is already
loaded automatically, and so only one line instead of two should be
added to ~/.bashrc (as a minimal example):

  PS1='\w$(__git_ps1)\n\$ '

The rest is the same. Still can't reproduce it with this script.
