Any thoughts on this?

I have found this to be a useful feature; especially when using msysGit in a Windows CMD shell. Specifically because a CMD shell provides no ability for any sort of "git-completion.bash" prompt. By highlighting the current branch name, the colouring has helped to quickly identify what the current branch is.
