Subject: bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out rebase state
X-Git-Tag: v1.8.4-rc0~97^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b91b935f04e8dcb1cc9f247627fbd0346ce949f4;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out rebase state

During an ongoing interactive rebase __git_ps1() finds out the name of
the rebased branch, the total number of patches and the number of the
current patch by executing a '$(cat .git/rebase-merge/<FILE>)' command
substitution for each.  That is not quite the most efficient way to
read single line single word files, because it imposes the overhead of
fork()ing a subshell and fork()+exec()ing 'cat' several times.

Use the 'read' bash builtin instead to avoid those overheads.
