Git for Windows comes with a bash that doesn't support process substitution.
It issues the following error when using git-completion.bash with
GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM set:

$ export GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM=1
sh.exe": cannot make pipe for process substitution: Function not implemented
sh.exe": cannot make pipe for process substitution: Function not implemented
sh.exe": <(git config -z --get-regexp '^(svn-remote\..*\.url|bash\.showupstream)$' 2>/dev/null | tr '\0\n' '\n '): ambiguous redirect

Replace the process substitution with a simple "echo $var | while...".

Are you sure that the result still works as intended? The while loop
sets a few variables. When you place it in a pipe, the loop runs in a
subshell, and subsequent code will not see the modified values. Unless
bash knows how to optimize away the subshell, that is.

I doesn't work in the 'git svn' case, I guess.

OTOH, when you use while ...; do ...; done < <(...), the while loop is
not in a subshell.

An alternative is to use:  while ...; do ...; done <<< "$output"

I'll try that.

BTW, you don't need to protect the end-of-line with a backslash if the
line ends with the pipe symbol.

OK. Will do.
