Use the vcs_info function in the zsh user contributions (included in the zsh package). Quick start:

autoload -Uz vcs_info

precmd () { vcs_info }

setopt prompt_subst

PS1="$vcs_info_msg_0_$PS1"

It's likely that you'll want to make the output prettier. Since that's matter of personal taste, I refer you to the examples in the documentation.
