I don't know if this patch will go forward or not, but there are several
instances of spurious ${x-}, eg.:

>  __gitdir ()
>  {
> -	if [ -z "$1" ]; then
> +	if [ -z "${1-}" ]; then

Given the above...

> -	elif [ -d "$1/.git" ]; then
> -		echo "$1/.git"
> +	elif [ -d "${1-}/.git" ]; then
> +		echo "${1-}/.git"
>  	else
> -		echo "$1"
> +		echo "${1-}"

... this other hunk is redundant, because if [ -z "${1-}" ] fails, then
$1 is surely set.

>  __git_ps1 ()
>  {
>  	local g="$(git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null)"
> -	if [ -n "$g" ]; then
> +	if [ -n "${g-}" ]; then

Spurious, $g is always set here.

This one is okay...

> -			printf "$1" "${b##refs/heads/}$r"
> +			printf "${1-}" "${b##refs/heads/}$r"

But this one is unnecessary, if [ -n "${1-}" ] succeeds, then $1 is set.

And so on.
