If you "cd ~/Library/Application Support" or any directory containing a
white space then bash will run in an endless loop.
This is because __shorten_path $PWD $PATH_LENGTH is used instead of
__shorten_path "$PWD" $PATH_LENGTH
Note the use of "" around $PWD in the fixed version.
In case of the bug we have in the __shorten_path function
$1 is set to ~/Library/Application
$2 is set to Support
$3 is set to $PATH_LENGTH
With the fix we now have:
$1 set to ~/Library/Application Support
$2 set to $PATH_LENGTH
Conflicts:
liquidprompt.bash
Do you want to display the hostname, even if not connected through network?
Use LP_HOSTNAME_ALWAYS. It defaults to 0 (do not display hostname when localy
connected). Set it to 1 if you want to always see the hostname.
PROMPT_COMMAND
If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each
primary prompt.
PROMPT_COMMAND cannot contain a script but only ONE command (at least on
bash 3.2.48 from Mac OS X Lion)
The solution is to call the old prompt command at the start of
__set_bash_prompt()

With 1 file changed in the SVN repo I get:
± svn status | grep -v "?" | wc -l
1
So the prompt is:
[...] trunk( 1) ±
with the white spaces at the left of 1
By converting the number of commits from text to numeric the white
spaces are removed.
Having to edit the liquidprompt.bash file to select a configuration is a
bad idea. Configuration shall be external to the file to avoid any
modification compared to the official version.
It is easy to pass paramaters to the script by using (in the present case):
$ REVERSE="1" source liquidprompt.bash
If screen is not present then an error message is displayed each time
the prompt is displayed:
-bash: screen : command not found
The error message is now sent to /dev/null
