Hi Kevin, good job! I looked the git prompt and I'm a bit disappointed with the combination, ps1 can show many items:

# % + * $ REBASE-i| REBASE-m| MERGING| BISECTING| < > <> (or u+count u-count u+countu-count)

Each item is "optional", so you can have REBASE-i| with * and +, or only *. It seems to complicated to wrap all items (I think of the verbose mode for upstream branches). Maybe coding a lua (or Python) prompt with a config file.
