For folks with recent git (anything in Fedora will do, EPEL, not so
much), there's a few things you can add to your prompt to display
status -- assuming you're already using __git_ps1()¹.

The GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM environment variable can be set in various
ways.  Using auto gives you a prompt like:

    [tmz at panaeolus fedoraproject.org (master >)]$

showing that I am ahead of the remote master in my fedora-web clone.

See the comments in /etc/bash_completion.d/git for other possible
values for GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM.
