Shell prompt very slow with git_prompt_info

[ctbear]

If I include the git branch info in my prompt theme, the prompt becomes very, very slow (responds in about 2 seconds after input). Can confirm this issue doesn't occur if I take the git_prompt_info call out.

Do your git commands run smooth when you issue them from the your command line?

[ctbear]

Yes they are normal.

Can you try to ride my fork in the branch fixing_git? A summary of the stuff I did there can be found here: #2386 - don't believe that it helps, but it's worth a shot.

Didn't seem to help, unfortunately.
On a side note, it is slow on my Mac. It works fine on my red hat install. Could be a git version problem?

Good hint, I am not a Mac user myself but I remember reading about that issue. Is it mavericks? Apples git is said to slow with that, if I remember right. Use homebrew to update git - I'll bet 50 american dollar cent that it will be better afterwards :)

Using the git from brew and the prompt is as fast as before 👍

Hey @ctbear, you owe me 50 cent ;) But I feel generous and will abate your debts - make good use of them in these funds in the future hehe.
