If you have a prompt which displays the command exit status,
__git_ps1 without this change corrupts it, although it has
the correct value in the parent shell:

        ~/src/git (master) 0 $ set | grep ^PS1
        PS1='\w$(__git_ps1) $? \$ '
        ~/src/git (master) 0 $ false
        ~/src/git (master) 0 $ echo $?
        1
        ~/src/git (master) 0 $

There is a slightly ugly workaround:

        ~/src/git (master) 0 $ set | grep ^PS1
        PS1='\w$(x=$?; __git_ps1; exit $x) $? \$ '
        ~/src/git (master) 0 $ false
        ~/src/git (master) 1 $

This change makes the workaround unnecessary.
