Well, that's what vcs_info does already. So, we really don't to do
anything to *retrieve* the information.

Basically, this boils down, to add another format to vcs_info's
configuration to get another $vcs_info_message_N_ variable set up.

Ah, good idea!

What's the best way to retrieve "repo_name" as fast and simple as
possible?

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

I usually have >=5 open zsh session inside GNU screen, several of them have 
something like /grml/git/$REPOS as working directory. Having 'zsh' for all of 
them as automatically set GNU screen title is somewhat annyoing. Frank, what do 
you think about setting "$REPOS ($VCS)" as GNU screen title in such a case as 
we now have the rocking vcs_info() feature? :)

thx && regards,
