Description of the new feature/enhancement

I would like to configure dynamic tab names per profile. For example, I have a git profile and it would be very useful for the tab name to list the current repository.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A simple implementation would be a config setting which points to an executable script (eg. tab_name.sh) and a list of events that trigger the script to execute or how often to execute it. When executed, the script will write the desired text to stdout.
