Thanks for your answer,

but when I remove the double quote it still doesn't work and I get this error:

    unmatched '

I took the example from the zshcontrib man page so it looks like there is an
error.

Thanks, setting promptsubst worked fine.

I followed the introduction in the zshcontrib man page. Would it be possible
to add this information there so other users can set it up without any
problems?

Just curious, what other ways to use vcs_info than ${vcs_info_msg_0_} exist?

Thanks,
Simon
