OK I fixed that.  I had too many $'s.  The problem now is that it
doesn't change when I switch a branch or after cd'ing into and out of
a git directory.  Ondrej's PS1 changes (though I get
aaronmeu...@macintosh:~/Documents/python/sympy/sympy33[31m(odes|
BISECTING)33[00m$ for my prompt on Mac OS X), but I cannot figure out
what is different in it.  This is kind of useless unless it changes.

Here is what I have: export PS1="\[\e[31;40m\]\h:\W \u\[\e[0m\]\[\e
[0;33m\]$(__git_ps1 "(%s)")\[\e[31;40m\]\$\[\e[0m\]"
