This patch seems to break colorization when __git_ps1() is invoked

While I did test this on my own prompt for v6 (which is identical to v7
in terms of code) and not see any breakage, I have the same issue with
v7. Maybe I forgot to re-source the changed git-prompt.sh. Either way,
The issue stems from $b being wrapped in $__git_ps1_branch_name and then
back into itself after colouring. Moving this wrapping to before colour
is applied fixes this. I will submit a v8 shortly.
