Hi,

I actually like that very much! So much that I tried to implement this as 
an option to an existing builtin (I did not want to clutter the list of 
commands any more...).

But there really is no good place to put it: most commands need a git 
repository, and those which do not, are inappropriate to put an option 
"--show-ps1" into. Except maybe repo-config. Thoughts?

Ciao,
