Use git-prompt.sh from git contrib #243

Instead of the current git functions in .bash_prompt it would be better to use the recommended git way of customizing your PS1.

Checkout source and docs here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/v1.8.4/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh

It gives you a single function __git_ps1 to use in your prompt and you can customize it with few environment variables.

It has features like:

Show a $ for available stash.
Show >, < or = for comparison between a local and a remote branch
Show a + for staged changes.
Show a % for untracked files.

All of these are optional and could be set via some global constants so it is more customizable.

This should clouse #137 and #155 .
