Git branch lingers after `prevd-or-backward-word`

[2-4601]

When I'm in a Git repository and I prevd-or-backward-word out of it with Alt+←, the branch name still lingers on the prompt.

Reproducible in this container https://github.com/dideler/docker-fish-shell

~ ❱ fish --version
fish, version 3.2.2
~ ❱ fisher --version
fisher, version 4.4.2
~ ❱ fisher list 
jorgebucaran/fisher
jorgebucaran/hydro
~ ❱ cd /tmp/src/jorgebucaran/hydro/
/t/s/j/hydro main ❱ # Press ALT-<left arrow> to run prevd-or-backward-word
~ main ❱ # This actually replaces the previous line

Also happens with Fish 3.5.1 on my actual system. Hydro version d4c107a.

I think it's a feature of fish shell: https://fishshell.com/docs/current/interactive.html#shared-bindings

Alt+← and Alt+→ move the cursor one word left or right (to the next space or punctuation mark), or moves forward/backward in the directory history if the command line is empty. If the cursor is already at the end of the line, and an autosuggestion is available, Alt+→ (or Alt+F) accepts the first word in the suggestion.

Yes it is, and it's a nice feature :)
Just like moving backwards and forwards in your web browser history you can move backwards and forwards in directories.

The issue is that the feature doesn't currently work well in Hydro because the branch name of Git repositories gets stuck in the prompt even though you have moved out of that directory. This does not happen with the default Fish prompt.

This little video should demonstrate the issue. Never noticed it till now. When I back up into a previous directory, the Git branch doesn't update. Git branch doesn't refresh until running another command.

Reproduced, nice job everyone. 👌
