Thank you! I appreciate all the effort you've put into this little
corner of zsh.

Noted.

Newer versions of StGit have the same --description option for `stg
series` with the same output, so the `stg` command will work across
versions.

For reference, running `stg series --noprefix --applied
--description` as is done in the below change will give output of
the form:

    patch1 # Subject of patch1
    p2     # Subject of p2
    third  # Subject of third patch

I tried the relevant example from vcs_info-examples along with
this patch. The one problem I'm seeing is that because there is a
variable amount of space between the last character of the patch
name and the "#" separator, the `${${(f)"$(stg ...)"}/[#] }`
substitution captures any extra spaces such that they make their
way into the final prompt.

This can be resolved by changing the replacement expansion to:

    ${${(f)"$(stg ...)"}/ *[#]}

Which is a little clunky, but I don't know how to express "one
or more spaces followed by a '#'" as a zsh pattern, thus the
clunky ' *'. But it will work.
