Re: [PATCH 1/2] Update the bash prompt from 'applied' instead of the obsolete 'current'

My suggestion was to have a small stand-alone C program that could do
some operations that need to be really fast, such as
top/applied/unapplied. It need not have a nice user interface since
it's only going to be called by scripts (bash-completion and the
like), and it should only handle those operations that _must- avoid
the Python startup penalty. And for sanity reasons, it should share
code with stgit.

There is one more case to consider - people using NFS-mounted
directories. The applied/unapplied commands would be even slower and
the language overhead be negligible.

Another workaround would be to always generate the applied/unapplied
files when the stack structure changes.
