how about displaying the current branch in the command prompt?

>>From contrib/completion/git-completion.bash:

  #    4) Consider changing your PS1 to also show the current branch:
  #        PS1=3D'[\u@\h \W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
  #
  #       The argument to __git_ps1 will be displayed only if you
  #       are currently in a git repository.  The %s token will be
  #       the name of the current branch.
