What is your usecase for this?

Again, what is the usecase?  What doesn't @{u} do?

>  upstream-remote = !git upstream | sed -e 's/\\/.*$//g'

Windows back-slashes?

Show 5 quoted lines

What is wrong with git status showing a unified output?

>   head = !git l -1

What is git l again?

>  current = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

Why don't you use a prompt?  Use the one in contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh.
