[PATCH 2/2] bash completion: Support "divergence from upstream" warnings in __git_ps1

From

Message-ID
<a798e1b7f5ce3872a794829555c7295e588e2c61.1276169807.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1276169807.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>
From: Andrew Sayers <andrew-git@pileofstuff.org>

Add a notification in the command prompt specifying whether you're ahead of or behind your upstream. This is especially helpful in small teams that (forget to) push to each other very frequently.

Support git-svn upstream detection as a special case, as migraters from centralised version control systems are especially likely to forget to push.

Support for other types of upstream than SVN should be easy to add if anyone is so inclined.
