   I had this problem aswell. Thanks for the tip, it worked for me.

   I was just wondering, how did you figure out that they moved the __git_ps1 bash functions?

   Chris, I don’t remember exactly. At first I checked if set contained the __git_ps1 function, using grep and less, then I checked if they moved the git-completion.bash somewhere else, using find, but it was still at the same place as before. Then I searched around to find __git_ps1 function and it was easy since in the directory /opt/local/share/doc/git-core/contrib/completion there were just two files: git-completion.bash and git-prompt.sh.

   Thanks Luigi. It was super helpful. My bash prompt broke down after my recent update of git installation.

   thanks for the tip, my .profile now looks like this:
   
# Set git autocompletion and PS1 integration
GIT_COMPLETION_FILE='/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash';
GIT_PROMPT_FILE='/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh'
if [ -f $GIT_COMPLETION_FILE ]; then
. $GIT_COMPLETION_FILE
fi
if [ -f $GIT_PROMPT_FILE ]; then
. $GIT_PROMPT_FILE
fi
GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true
PS1='\[33[32m\]\u@\h\[33[00m\]:\[33[36m\]\w\[33[31m\]$(__git_ps1)\[33[00m\]\$ '

   They changed the location of those files again. Super!

   now they are here:

    /opt/local/share/git-core/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
    /opt/local//share/git-core/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh

   freaking hell, why do they keep changing this all the time. Thanks for the update :)
