The calculate of git_summary_status can be extremely expensive for large
repos. This results in the shell becoming unresponsive.

We now set a timeout of 0.2 seconds to make sure we always have
a responsive shell.

Fixes #172

@pokowaka @HanJoHibender Do you have any thoughts on this?

I now think the default timeout 0.2 sec might be too short. If the timeout is too short, the prompt information will not be shown in many repositories. In fact, a user who picked this commit has increased the timeout to 1 sec:

@ghostrider-reborn Maybe you also have a comment?

But still, there might be cases where Git information is wanted even if it takes time to show the prompt. Another approach is to get the Git information asynchronously as I mentioned in #172 (comment).

As suggested in #6, another approach is to allow the user to disable the git prompt information for each repository.
