I started using this a few months ago to solve the very important problem of my git-status-decorated bash prompt taking too long to display on macOS. I'm very happy with the result, but there are a couple of situations where it seems to get stuck and I have to go kill processes: after I've created a lot of untracked files and then deleted them; and if I've moved back and forth between revisions with thousands of combined file changes.
Still highly recommended for large (or just old) repos.
