Allow for full customization of watermark text

[jackm]

As it is right now, the watermark text is split into two user customizable commands, \gitMarkPref and \gitMark, with \gitMarkFormat intented to be used for text style.

However, even if the \gitMarkPref command were to be redefined to contain nothing, the watermark text will still contain a textbullet between the prefix text and the main text. I would like there to be a way to change the entire watermark text if the user wishes to. The only way to do this with the current version would be to temporarily disable the hidden textbullet or manually change the gitinfo2 package itself.

Basically what I'm asking is to allow the user to modify the following line within the package.

Hi Brent,
Thanks a lot for this package. Just to say that I'd really like to see this feature as well -- I originally posted an issue, referenced above, but I think this one captures what I would like.

Hello Brent

Thank you for that great package! This improved my git workflow in a way I dreamed of.
It would be very helpful if I could define the whole watermark text, so +1 by me.

Changing the package itself is no option for me. So I hope you could move the text bullet into the \gitMarkPref default (or find another solution).

@jackm Could yo tell me how I can temporarily disable the textbullet? Would be great if you could provide a code snippet.

Here is my workaround. The way I get around it is to change the textbullet command to be empty when setting gitMarkPref, then I re-enable the textbullet command at the end of the gitMark command.

% Blank out the git watermark prefix
% Temporarily disable the \textbullet command so that it doesn't render
\renewcommand{\gitMarkPref}
{\renewcommand{\textbullet}{}}

% Custom git watermark; only show branch and short hash
% Re-enable the \textbullet command as well
\renewcommand{\gitMark}
{\gitBranch\,@\,\gitAbbrevHash\renewcommand{\textbullet}{\textbullet}}
