__git_ps1 has been split out from the main completion script into a
separate git-prompt.sh library (see v1.7.12-rc0~67^2~2, 2012-05-22)
and unfortunately there is no standard place to install it.
This patch takes the following approach:
* install contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh to
$(gitexecdir)/git-sh-prompt, which based on upstream discussion
is at least a possible place for that script.
* source git-sh-prompt in /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt so
existing configurations that relied on __git_ps1 becoming available
when bash-completion is loaded continue to work without fuss.
* no NEWS entry yet. We can add one encouraging users to update
their configuration once the filename for the git-prompt scriptlet
has been decided.
