rewrites virtualenv env out to show just current branch #45

after activate a virtual environment in python it gives you an indication of which branch you currently are by pre-pending the current environment name to you prompt. Example if you environment's name is env then you get a prompt like (env) home/user/path_to_environment/src

However after running git-aware-prompt, script that is in my .profile file because am using ubuntu, the prompt changes to

home/user/path_to_environment/src (master)

What i expected was to get something like

(env) home/user/path_to_environment/src (master)

This happens when you execute execute

source $HOME/.profile

after runing source env/bin/activate

It seems virtualenv modifies the PS1 shell variable to achieve this, which you're overriding to add the git information.

You'll need to add the virtualenv information to the PS1 variable you're setting to get the bit branch into the prompt. I found this answer on Stackoverflow that might help you configure your PS1 variable as needed: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20026992
