Soliciting oh-my-zsh users to review pull request

[Sonny Michaud]

Good Day,

I am hoping to find a few oh-my-zsh users who would be willing to help 
me test out a pull request I have opened, "make git_prompt_info aware of 
detached HEAD and tags".  The motivation behind this request is that, 
when compiling git repositories from source, I often found myself having 
a tag checked out - but git_prompt_info would report that I was not in a 
git repository when that was the case.  Having this information seems to 
be very useful, and I can imagine, in the future, adding awareness for 
merge and rebase state, but this at least gives you an idea of where you 
are at any given time.

You can take a look at the pull request here: 
https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/pull/1063

I would really appreciate any help with this or even just comments.

Thank you kindly for your time,
Sonny

Just for the record: `vcs_info' (which is shipped with zsh since 4.3.7)
has support for all that and more (plus you get support for a plethora
of other version control systems besides git).

  % man zshcontrib | less -p GATHER
