Rather than overwrite any existing PROMPT_COMMAND, it would be better to
do something like:
PROMPT_COMMAND="__git_prompt_command; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

As above, I'd recommend a simple documentation change:
PROMPT_COMMAND="__git_prompt_command; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
(to show people how to chain any other prompt commands they have)

How hard/appropriate would it be to export individual parts of the
prompt here? Something like:
__git_ps1_string_dirtystate="$i"
__git_ps1_string_untrackedfiles="$u"
There have been requests in the past to let people individually
colourise different bits of the prompt, which this would make practical.
