Put these lines in your ~/.bashrc file to get Git tab completion and a nice prompt (see the installation screencast for details):

# Git tab completion
source ~/git-completion.bash
# Show branch in status line
PS1='[\W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'
