By the way: thanks for your work on IPython!
Personally, I would appreciate if you could reinstate the previous
behaviour. We are switching in a regular basis between branches and
having some visual feedback about it is really useful. How many times
did I wonder why something was not working as I expected, until I
realized I was in the wrong branch.
Thanks!
