It says "to customize", so a user who just wants the default (which does not exist but the comment does not say so) would be left without instruction, no? In $HOME/.bashrc, PROMPT_COMMAND can be set to '__git_ps1 
 ', where 
 and 
    are strings you would put in $PS1 before and after
    the status string generated by git-prompt machinery.
    e.g.
        PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\u@\h:\w" "\\\$ "'

or something?
