Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/8

I have git-completion enabled in my bash profile:

source ~/git-completion.bash
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=1
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="verbose"
# \$(parse_svn_revision)
export PS1="\[\033[1;30m\][\$(date +%H:%M)] \w \[\033[0m\]\$(__git_ps1 '(%s) ')\n\[\033[1;30m\]>\[\033[0m\] "

When I start recording a session, env variables seems to be inherited by the newly spawned shell, but not the function form git-completion:

bash: __git_ps1: command not found

I also noticed that few times. It seems that asciiio should invoke "/bin/bash -l" (login shell) instead of "/bin/bash". I'll check if it has any downsides, meanwhile you can try recording like this:

$ asciiio -c "/bin/bash -l"

I'm considering some general solution to your problem in #22.
