Async prompt locks git index #12

Closed avalonwilliams closed 4 years ago

avalonwilliams commented 4 years ago

The git status command currently locks out the git index file, which prevents users from using git commands while it is running.

As a result, while our async prompt is loading, it prevents users from running a git command.

This isn't a big deal for small to medium sized projects on modern computers, however it poses a large problem on very large codebases.

A possible way to fix this is using git's --no-optional-locks flag.

The --no-optional-locks flag first appears in git 2.14.0, which is relatively recent, so checking the git version is probably needed.
