.bash_profile problem
Hi Guys,

I modified my .bash_profile script , and tried to change the prompt.
Following is the line of code in my .bash_profile script.
Code:
export PS1="[\u@\h] \W [\!] "

But I get the output as:

Code:
[\u@\h] \W [\10]

This appears to be my prompt now.
Any idea what should be done..

Thanks!

git-fetch-pack

GIT-FETCH-PACK(1)						    Git Manual							 GIT-FETCH-PACK(1)

NAME

       git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository

SYNOPSIS

       git fetch-pack [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] [-v] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Usually you would want to use git fetch, which is a higher level wrapper of this command, instead.

       Invokes git-upload-pack on a possibly remote repository and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to update the named
       heads. The list of commits available locally is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to git-upload-pack running on the
       other end.

       This command degenerates to download everything to complete the asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not have a common
       ancestor commit.

OPTIONS

       --all
	   Fetch all remote refs.

       --stdin
	   Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there are refs specified on the command line in addition to this option, then the
	   refs from stdin are processed after those on the command line.

	   If --stateless-rpc is specified together with this option then the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must be
	   in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet.

       -q, --quiet
	   Pass -q flag to git unpack-objects; this makes the cloning process less verbose.

       -k, --keep
	   Do not invoke git unpack-objects on received data, but create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it in the object database.
	   If provided twice then the pack is locked against repacking.

       --thin
	   Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.

       --include-tag
	   If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if the object the
	   tag references is downloaded. The caller must otherwise determine the tags this option made available.

       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
	   Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. Installations of sshd ignores the
	   user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on the system
	   default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not want to pay
	   the overhead for non-interactive shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in .bash_profile).

       --exec=<git-upload-pack>
	   Same as --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>.

       --depth=<n>
	   Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n.

       --no-progress
	   Do not show the progress.

       -v
	   Run verbosely.

       <host>
	   A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
	   The repository to sync from.

       <refs>...
	   The remote heads to update from. This is relative to $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified, update from all
	   heads the remote side has.
