I think it's a very reasonable feeling especially if you're working in
a lot of different repositories, like you do when working on grml.
So, I like the idea.

I'd say we forget about the vcs name, though.
I would favor this format: 'zsh: repo_name'

Like that, you still know it's basically zsh running but you also get
the repository's name, which is the important point, IMHO.

Regards, Frank
