Git repo dirty indicator not working about ohmyzsh HOT 2 CLOSED

I can confirm that this is an issue in pre-1.7 git. Git previously used git commit --dry-run for git status. In my personal fork, I don't care about the backwards compatibility and get irritated at a slow prompt, but I'll leave it up to Robby. git status gets awkwardly slow on larger repos. Quick benchmark:

for i in {1..10}
do
time git status > /dev/null
time git status -s > /dev/null
done

git status > /dev/null  0.10s user 0.19s system 84% cpu 0.333 total

Reverting this change for now. On a large project of mine... I barely notice a difference. Would prefer to keep it inclusive to people who don't have the latest oh-my-zsh for now. Am open to other suggestions as well.
