completion: enhance "current branch" display

gitster · gitster · commit dd42c2f01510 · 2009-05-16T19:46:31.000-07:00
Introduce GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE option you can set to "contains", "branch", or
"describe" to tweak the way how a detached HEAD is described.

The default behaviour is to describe only exact match with some tag
(otherwise use the first 7 hexdigits) as before.
