Nice! This rocks. I already set it up in multiple places for myself.

I commented out line 42 to be: # ruby=parse_ruby_version``, as I personally don't have a use for constantly seeing the version number for Ruby. :o)

Yea, I've just left it in there. Been trying to think of something useful to put in its place.

Since git 1.8.0, string "nothing to commit (working directory clean)" changed to "nothing to commit, working directory clean".
