There's no way git-prompt.sh can be sourced without modifications to
the script, unless you expect it would always be named
'.git-prompt.sh' and would be on the same directory, which many
distributions would frown upon.
So, again, seems like a good argument for building a git-gitdir into git
proper. Maybe there are other utilities that could make use of it as
well...
