[Yanel-dev] showing git branch in command prompt

[Michael Wechner]

Btw, I just tested "restart" on Mac OS X and it works very fine (whereas 
to be safe I had created another "sudo" account).

@Simon: I guess you are using Ubuntu, right?

The code below should not be specific for Mac OS X. Any pointers to 
clarify are much appreciated.

Thanks

Michael
