If any of the files read by __git_eread have \r\n line endings, read
will only strip \n, leaving \r. This results in an ugly prompt, where
instead of
user@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master)
the last parenthesis is printed over the beginning of the prompt like
)ser@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master
This patch fixes the issue by setting the IFS to $'\r\n' for the read
operation. Note that ANSI-C Quoting ($'...') is supported by bash as
well as zsh, which are the current targets of git-prompt.sh, cf.
