  I wonder if an asynchronous approach could be implemented. Like starting the git status and the likes in a separate process and killing it after a certain timeout if it takes too long.

Maybe there could be a toggle feature where the user can turn on and off the git prompt on demand, wouldn't be hard to implement. Maybe I will start hacking on it, I have some ideas to optimize it further.
