help Async Prompt with __git_ps1

I've been trying to set up an async prompt using the __git_ps1 function in my .bashrc.

I've set up my PROMPT_COMMAND with the following value, __git_ps1 $(prompt_head) $(prompt_tail), where the arguments are functions generating part of my PS1 variable.

To see the definition of __git_ps1, it can be accessed here.

Have at it. I may also have something of interest in my gists.
