Hi Craig,
vcs_info does the trick in zsh. Here's a snippet from my zshrc that shows the checked out branch with your in a git repo:
autoload vcs_info
setopt prompt_subst
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats '|%b'
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git cvs svn
precmd () { vcs_info }
vcs_info_wrapper() {
vcs_info
if [ -n "$vcs_info_msg_0_" ]; then
echo "${vcs_info_msg_0_}$del"
fi
}
PS1='%~$(vcs_info_wrapper) %{$fg[red]%}%{$reset_color%} '
