Instead of directly writing to and reading from files in

We are trying very hard not to spawn any new processes in __git_ps1().
So, I raise a moderate veto against this hunk.

Do you have an alternate suggestion about how to accomplish the same
thing? Here are my ideas:

We could special-case CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and REVERT_HEAD to be files
independent of the ref backend, but that tends to complicate the
backends.  I think this is a mistake.

We could reduce the number from two to one by providing a new
git-am-status command which outputs one of "CHERRY-PICKING",
"REVERTING", or "" (or maybe it would also handle rebase and am).  We
could also generalize it to "git-prompt-helper" or something by moving
that entire bunch of if statements inside.  This would replace calls to
"git describe".

But you probably have a better idea.

Isn't it mere coincidence that the content of these two files looks like a non-packed ref? Wouldn't it be better to consider the two akin to MERGE_HEAD (which is not a ref because it records more than just a commit name)?
