Two config.json options added that help truncate git branch names. The first shortens "master" to "M". The second truncates the branch name to a given length. For example, with these config settings:
```
"git": {
"master_is_M": true,
"branch_max_length": 5
}
```
We would see "M" in lieu of "master" and "whate…" in lieu of "whatever".
Forgot to check if a branch existed! Fixed that. Now the script works in both .git repos and other directories.

Any action on this? Our branch names are automatically generated using the ticket title and often end up exceeding the width of the terminal, this would be a very welcome feature addition for anyone in a similar situation. |

I haven't seen much action on this project in the last two years despite its popularity, unfortunately. |

Why isn't this PR getting any love? I need to be able to do this and I would rather not have to hack powerline. This is what the shell looks like, it's not cool.

This is related to #438 . I added two options to truncate git branch names to use with
config.json.The first abbreviates master to M. The second sets a maximum number of characters to display for the branch name. Names past that length are truncated and appended with the unicode ellipsis.
I didn't look at bzr or other vc systems, so I kept this git specific.
