My remedy for this is: 

If your using bash, add this function to your .bashrc: 

parse_git_state() {
 gstate=$(LC_ALL='C' git status 2>/dev/null) 
 if [ "x$gstate" = "x" ]; then 
  return
 fi 
 state_up=$(echo $gstate | grep "Your branch is ahead" >/dev/null \
            && echo "^")
 state_ci=$(echo $gstate | grep "nothing.*to commit" >/dev/null \
            || echo "*")
 state_add=$(echo $gstate | grep "ntracked files" >/dev/null \
             &&  echo "+")
 state_branch=$(echo $gstate  | \
               sed -e 's/^On branch \([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\).*/\1/') 

 echo "|git:$state_branch$state_ci$state_up$state_add"
}

and add somewhere in your PS1 prompt $(parse_git_state)

With this, when you are in a git managed directory tree it will show you
the branch and some state information: 

  * = uncommitted changes
  + = files that are not tracked
  ^ = branch ahead of remote (i.e. push required) 

best,
