Previously, calling git status would lock the .git directory, which would in turn modify its mtime.

This causes issues for build systems that look at .git to decide whether to rebuild (e.g. vergen, which lets you include a Git hash in the output). Because .git was being changed on every new prompt, the build system was recompiling stuff all the time.
