Thanks, 'tis more than what I need at the moment, but it'll be handy
to refer to over time for sure. Here's what I've settled on for now:

  autoload -Uz vcs_info
  precmd () {
      psvar=()
      vcs_info
      [[ -n $vcs_info_msg_0_ ]] && psvar[1]="$vcs_info_msg_0_"
  }
  
  export PROMPT="%B%F{green} %~%(1v.%b%F{yellow}%1v%f.) %B%F{yellow}%# %b%F{white}"

However, for some reason the git info will appear in my prompt only
if I do something like `mv /etc/zsh/zshrc /etc/zsh/zshrc-1`
Seems something in the zshrc that came with the Grml distro I'm
using is preventing the display of git info (or maybe I'm just doing
something wrong). I tried reading through and commenting out various
sections of that zshrc to figure out what might be causing this
interaction to no avail. Any ideas?
