This may or may not be the case for you but I did have a bit of a
face-palm issue a while back because I was tinkering with a __git_ps1
bash script and forgot. I was actually getting output from one git
command or another and couldn't figure out why until I eventually
figured out that the commands that were complaining were used in my
__git_ps1 script. This was mainly when I was doing slightly unexpected
things (at least as far as __git_ps1 was concerned, e.g during an
interactive rebase ).

Its probably not your problem but just double check with 'echo "$PS1"'
from your shell.
