Add another prompt control string that prints out the current path relative to the repository root.

I find this useful as I do not print the full path in my prompt normally. This works especially well if you include a newline at the end of your git-radar prompt. Here is how it looks with my prompt:

My prompt string:

GIT_RADAR_FORMAT="\\x01\\033[1;32m\\x02→\\x01\\033[0m\\x02 \\x01\\033[1;36m\\x02%{git_path}\\x01\\033[0m\\x02 \\x01\\033[37m\\x02git:(\\x01\\033[0m\\x02%{remote: }%{branch}%{ :local}\\x01\\033[37m\\x02)\\x01\\033[0m\\x02%{ :stash}%{ :changes}\\x01\n\\x02"

Looks good. Interesting idea. I personally wouldn't use it but I can see where it would be useful. Like a project aware directory indicator telling you where you are inside your project.

It is however untested. Which would mean preventing breaking with future changes would be difficult.

Can you add tests for:

• the git_path function:
  • to prove it's use-case
  • cover some of the corner cases (not inside a git repo, inside the .git folder, inside a folder in the repo that is then deleted)
• the render_prompt function (tested in test-format-config.sh):
  • when the new control string is in the format
  • when the new control string is not in the format
  • when the new control string is in the format with a prefix
  • when the new control string is in the format with a suffix

That should ensure that the new indicator doesn't break on future changes.

Thanks for the feedback! I will work on adding the tests.
