Re: [PATCH] git-prompt.sh: Document GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR
From: SZEDER Gábor <hidden>

Quoting Joe Cridge [off-list ref]:
The environment variable GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR can be used to set the separator between the branch name and the state symbols in the prompt. At present the variable is not mentioned in the inline documentation which makes it difficult for the casual user to identify.
Thanks, makes sense.

This is not a specification of a protocol or file or input/output format, where we formally use SP and LF. Perhaps we could spell out SP as a space here, for the sake of the "casual user"?
